The question is - are there enough of these to justify development. Or maybe they all already have their private cryptographers. Classic cypherpunk pipe dream is a dot-com syndrome - very low cost software/devices - billions will use it - we'll (get rich & laid | save the world). The only other feature of untraceable money which may get larger market attention - untaxability - is effectively preempted by relatively low taxes. 40% cumulative tax rate is not enough reason, for most well-off, to risk trusting scrambled bits on the wire. In other words, crypto already happened, all those who need it already have it. Maybe the current proliferation of "find out what your spouse does online" spams will gradually create a need. ===== end (of original message) Y-a*h*o-o (yes, they scan for this) spam follows: LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
