     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.
