On the digital cash issue - I think we should get some kind of implementation of digicash (oops, "electronic money") out for people on the list to play with. Then, we should think of some kind of experimental email-based game to play which would use the special characteristics of anonymous cash. Maybe we could use the remailers, too. Players would send cash back and forth to each other as part of the game. Even if the tools are sort of rough at first, this could show where the most work is needed.

Can anyone think of a good kind of game that we could play?

How about making cypherpunks a subscription mailing list, and paying contributors? Alan
