I know he had a lot > of friends and peers out on those lists. Did it already, guy. :-). Bummer. Sad. Gary was kind of Financial Cryptography's Charley Parker. (Ian Goldberg is Diz, and Adam Shostack, of course, is Miles... ;-)) I remember Gary and I arguing on a jitney on the way to the beach at FC97 that "bearer" (online, thus making it not "bearer") wasn't "bearer" (control of the asset held in bearer form, tokens and blinding making it so). Carol, my wife, was sitting between us, ducking... :-). Took me a whole year of thinking to answer him the right way, and I never actually answered Gary directly -- I actually used the answer first when Ron Rivest asked me the same question on the dbs list, after I'd started Philodox. BTW, Ian, there *is* no "bank robbery" problem... ;-).
