It’s amazing how many developers in crypto would benefit from going back and researching your early work. So much economic value has been destroyed over a lack of grokking basic, historical precedents.

This was written in 2001, three years after Nick came up with the concept of “blockchains” in “Secure Property Titles with Owner Authority.” I have my thoughts on what blockchains are good for and not today, but this is classic Cypherpunk work.

I was driving along the Mexico border yesterday and had this flash of anon drug mules dropping their haul in a metal box in the desert, then scanning a code to collect payment. Could work as a covert supply chain concept. Not an endorsement, this just reminded me of that.

Wouldn’t this require some kind of open hardware secure element? E.g. implementation based on RISC-V?
