Marcel-- I'm sorry that my comments upset you so much, but I do not
believe that they were unwarranted. It is true that the cyberbucks demo
is insecure in some ways, such as using insecure e-mail. On the other
hand your response that the demo is not about e-mail, it is about E-cash,
and that you don't have the manpower to invest in making those extraneous
things secure, is a good one and I am satisfied.
The only thing I wish I had done differently was to make the title of the
message "weak links in cyberbucks demo". There are, as far as I am aware, no
weak links in the DigiCash system.
I sincerely wish your company the best success, although I fear that
MicroSoft and Visa and the like will successfully market inferior systems by
use of their money and mindshare. In fact, a large part of the reason that
I chose to sell BAP via a cybershop was to draw more attention to Ecash.
I hope it is working. I guess if you have about a two-week queue for free
cyberbucks, then maybe in a week I will get a whole lot of BAP purchases.
:-)
Regards,
Bryce
