Either that or the power is given to DigiCash. What is their take? How
do they make a profit?
Yes, I like the idea of cryptocash, but all the worries that come up
when the government does it come up at least as loud when a private
firm does it.
How *do* they make their money on this? And what happens when
governments get upset that a private script has cropped up? (What are
the laws on minting private money?)
Fascinating stuff.

P.S. Have you people developed any special mailbox filters to help
deal with high-volume lists like this?
