Personally, I find the idea that the government could hope to track the economy so closely as to notice a $10M/year addition to the money supply to be disturbing (though it was done in a science fiction story about 20 years ago :-) With digital cash, it's also unrealistic - we finally have a technology for moving money around _without_ them being able to track it all, if we want to deploy it.

One related question is if the government would notice an underground fully anonymous digital cash setup - transactions disappearing from their "radar screen." -Allen
