i hate induction heating, give me carbon fuel any day, it's very crappy tech and the devices use clunky, noisy circuits not the kind of smooth, dynamic algorithms i would design and that's not easy to translate to hardware without some heavy capacitors and arrays of capacitors and FETs etc

anyhow, i'm not saying ecash isn't useful, but it has two big, clear, and obvious deficiencies that make the mint a trusted third party and if you don't use a limited set of denominations, totally identifiable metadata

build some tools to fix those two problems, and both are related, and i'm in

Might be that induction devices are crappy and clunky because of the manufacturers standard fiat mindset of cost reduction.

Regardin clunky, to bring it back to ecash, with all its drawbacks, it could be a very smooth payment method. Where lots of internet payment methods bring a lot of clunkiness, like the elaborate but unsafe credit card authorisation or all the blockchain or node-related mess of other cryptopayments.

yes but if the mint knows who issues and who spends it's not private, stop saying it's private, it's not private

that would require some more complex coding of denominations and mixing processes, and it's no big deal but i knew there was something missing from the story

Did I say private?
