It seems to me that anonymous communications is a building block that
is still missing.
Now, Chaum has a new cryptocoin :
https://elixxir.io/
I don't know how good it is, or if it's even working (seems not), but
if you take a look at their 'technical brief' you'll see they use a mixnet. My
half educated guess is that only high latency mixnets may provide good enough
anonimity.
So, I was wondering, maybe it would make sense to get some bitcoin
millonaire to fund some sort of mixnet? Such a project seems like a good fit
for somebody like Roger Ver? What do you think Jim? Maybe you could sell the
idea to him?
