I am glad that DigiCash supports this type of cash which anyone can deposit. Actually, I am surprised and puzzled that it does, given Chaum's apparent reluctance to endorse schemes to allow payee anonymity (due to political problems, apparently).

I, on the other hand, think one of the best uses of digital cash is to drastically reduce and eventually eliminate the whole concept of "government." I see payee-anonymous digital cash as being absolutely essential.
