Forbes article on Financial Cryptography is coming
Coming soon to a newstand near you... I hear the article will include pictures of cypherpunks and FC97 attendees like Ian Goldberg (FC97 workshop leader), Adam Shostack (FC97 workshop instructor), Sameer Parekh, and Steve Schear. Not to mention actual financial cryptographers like David Chaum and Ron Rivest. :-).

She said that the article on financial cryptography that Josh McHugh is doing is one of two being considered for the cover of the next issue. Having some fun now, as Mr. Martin used to say...

It's out. Sameer made the cover of Forbes with a picture captioned "This man wants to overthrow the government". Hot damn...

If that is the case, he better hurry. "the government" will be obsoleted in about a decade :). On the other hand, he probably has been more persistent in the US than anyone else in hurrying this process of planned obsolecense. Marx's dialectic said the government would disappear after everything was communist. Cypherpunk's dialectic says the government will disappear after technology leaves it behind as an old relic of a barbaric past next to the divine right of kings. If there is a serpent in the new garden, it is that then we *MUST* govern ourselves - personally, and individually, and I don't know how many are capable of living virtuously. But at least the virtuous won't be taxed to subsidize the vicious. --- reply to tzeruch - at - ceddec - dot - com ---
