I called myself a "minarchist libertarian" 1975- January-1995 ONLY because I couldn't figure out how to solve what I knew, independently, to be a problem. I hadn't thought about it much. While trying to figure out how to get rid of ONE free-spending officeholder (Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who I never named in my AP essay), I applied conceptually the ideas of good encryption, digital cash, and anonymity, to come up with the idea that I turned into my Assassination Politics essay in January-February 1995
For assassination politics to work, you are going to need a crypto currency, whose currency is proof of stake, and which supports end to end encrypted messaging concerning financial transactions, messages that can carry money and commit to contracts. A proof of stake currency is a sovereign corporation, and its currency is shares in that corporation. A normal corporation derives its identity and corporateness from a grant of identity from the sovereign. A sovereign corporation would derive its corporateness from the fact that everyone uses the same cryptographic protocol because everyone else is using that protocol. A sovereign corporation is something that I am sure that Bat Soup would regard as suspiciously like a state.
