ecash representation
In my last article, I slightly screwed up. A signed 32 bit fixed point number, with two places of precision (less than you need when calculating things like interest and what have you, but lets be generous) has a maximum representation of even less than I off the cuffed -- a mere 21,474,836.48. This is hardly sufficient for accounting. However, floating point is even less useful. .pm
A collegue of mine is taking a position where he will be recommending secure communications technologies to various big money clients. He asked me if I could drum up some contacts for him. Do you have a fact sheet on Piermont I might give to him? He could be in a position to generate significant business for a consulting firm which really knew the ins and outs of strong encryption. I'd also be interested for my own reasons. --- My preferred and soon to be permanent e-mail address:unicorn@schloss.li "In fact, had Bancroft not existed, potestas scientiae in usu est Franklin might have had to invent him." in nihilum nil posse reverti 00B9289C28DC0E55 E16D5378B81E1C96 - Finger for Current Key Information Opp. Counsel: For all your expert testimony needs: jimbell@pacifier.com

This was not meant to go to the list, sorry everyone. --- My preferred and soon to be permanent e-mail address:unicorn@schloss.li "In fact, had Bancroft not existed, potestas scientiae in usu est Franklin might have had to invent him." in nihilum nil posse reverti 00B9289C28DC0E55 E16D5378B81E1C96 - Finger for Current Key Information Opp. Counsel: For all your expert testimony needs: jimbell@pacifier.com
