[..] : Then Mr. Cantsin seemed to go back to the all you need are some spare parts : theory of remailer operation. Enormous profits of $200 per month, or even : $5,000 per year. Well, Cracker handles close to 25% of worldwide remailer : traffic of it's kind[1]. And it's not much. I would say this is due : mainly to the user interface. Making remailers more difficult to use by : adding Ecash is not going to increase traffic significantly. Basicly most of those 3400 message cracker handles daily are cover trafic, a big chunk of the rest is from people "playing" around with the remailer, then there are those few that needs some form of anonimity so they can inform a mailinglist/postmaster/complaints department, and then maybe once a week or so there is that message that would be paid for if remailers were for pay. So in short, if remailers were to be paid for, traffic would halt. -- Alex de Joode | usura@SABOTAGE.ORG | http://www.sabotage.org Sabotage Internet: Your Internet Problem Provider.
