I am not sure that PGP is comparable. PGP works as long as my
correspondents have a copy as well. Digital cash seems to require more
widespread acceptance before it is useful. In particular, the merchant
I want to buy things from needs to be outfitted with means of accepting
the cash. Merchants are generally not anonymous and can be sued for
patent infringement.
Is this a problem? or did you have some other model of use in mind?
Thanks,
