12.2.1. Main Points
- strong crypto makes certain forms of digital cash possible
- David Chaum is, once again, centrally involved
- no real systems deployed, only small experiments
- the legal and regulatory tangle will likely affect
deployment in major ways (making a "launch" of digital cash
a notrivial matter)
12.2.2. Connections to Other Sections
- reputations
- legal situation
- crypto anarchy
12.2.3. Where to Find Additional Information
- http://digicash.support.nl/
12.2.4. Miscellaneous Comments
- a huge area, filled with special terms
- many financial instruments
- the theory of digital cash is not complete, and confusion
abounds
- this section is also more jumbled and confusing than I'd
like; I'll clean it up in fufure releases.
