-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Originally to Marcel van der Peijl at DigiCash. - ------- Forwarded Message To: "Marcel van der Peijl" <bigmac@digicash.com> Subject: weak links in the cyberbucks demo (was: weak links in DigiCash system) Date: Wed, 27 Sep 1995 19:20:16 -0600 From: Bryce Wilcox <bryce@colorado.edu> - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Marcel-- I'm sorry that my comments upset you so much, but I do not believe that they were unwarranted. It is true that the cyberbucks demo is insecure in some ways, such as using insecure e-mail. On the other hand your response that the demo is not about e-mail, it is about E-cash, and that you don't have the manpower to invest in making those extraneous things secure, is a good one and I am satisfied. The only thing I wish I had done differently was to make the title of the message "weak links in cyberbucks demo". There are, as far as I am aware, no weak links in the DigiCash system. I sincerely wish your company the best success, although I fear that MicroSoft and Visa and the like will successfully market inferior systems by use of their money and mindshare. In fact, a large part of the reason that I chose to sell BAP via a cybershop was to draw more attention to Ecash. I hope it is working. I guess if you have about a two-week queue for free cyberbucks, then maybe in a week I will get a whole lot of BAP purchases. :-) Regards, Bryce signatures follow To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. bryce@colorado.edu http://ugrad-www.cs.colorado.edu/~wilcoxb/Niche.html - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Automatic PGP clearsigning under Unix with Bryce's Auto-PGP v1.0 iQCVAwUBMGn3/fWZSllhfG25AQEZegP/XMmoGuATQpfhBtNuIT/yUwFv9IL0+OXe auH1eMJ8d1PoWPJthrou7THpxkkOzJ0iV+GrTKS0n1dSQ2REbwk27SHsXce3LAEX JIy3rsKywTYuswH6aS361uaymPWusMr6ZhAeaegxnoSWnY3/Z2RlPCxDnhpROBsk vKgIf1mt8ww= =TRMS - -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - ------- End of Forwarded Message -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 Comment: Automatic PGP clearsigning under Unix with Bryce's Auto-PGP v1.0 iQCVAwUBMGn6PfWZSllhfG25AQHuUQQAtwozCJKKxq4dlOn6SpDHs5tGbhxRWozd NUjDxffgCL2FAINsrfKR9hOXqXztYD1hQGJ4jBE+uw6sD5gGYrGct5RVuG9X51Ua HTceFbqJHd6mc3ISTMusQwQDt9kJ2DmGXqV8nt4yI20uiPKZKDVizhAqg900xqGs 78NeZuvZ5cg= =3SxM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
