Re: bitcoins with homomorphic value (validatable but encrypted)
Ouch .... but it crossed my mind also.
So Sergio are you ever going to publish? Have you looked at the arguments regarding fungibility? If you truly have an idea that is possibly the best money humanity can have,
I don't have the best idea. No one can claim to have the best idea. But I'm unsure if I'd like to be remembered as the guy that facilitated global crime.
the enormous economic benefits alone far outweigh any moral quandaries provide by a few errant users of the money (who, after all, have to answer to their God and their peers ultimately for their actions whatever the medium is that they choose to perpetrate them with).
If you're religious, then it's true.
But still I want a paper with numbers that proves that the economic benefits of a truly anonymous untraceable coin outweigh the problems it may bring.
Or a paper that proposes a system where governments may have a trapdoor to allow them get trace of all transactions over 1 M USD but no trace of transactions of lower value. ... ohhh.. I've may have came up with an idea to do just that.
