It is to evade this sort of traffic analysis that complex routing, batching
and clustering of anon remailer traffic is being evolved.

Hello all,

Is anybody interested in forming a mailing list explicitly for e-cash
discussion?  After looking at the c'punks list for at least a year,
there seems to be the critical mass of interest to create a medium
volume mailing list.

The most critical benefit that such a dedicated list would have is
that we could probably generate interest from parties who may have
an interest in alternate currency/cash systems but have no interest/
knowledge of crypto (a lot of hard core financiers that I know of
come to mind...).

I don't have the resources to create a list but I'd be more than 
glad to help out someone who has access to 'em.

Half a dozen such special sub-list exists on Cypherpunks--bet you
didn't know that, eh? That's because they go unused, for reasons I've
written about before.

And there _are_ money-related lists: IMP-Interest, DigLib, AltInst,
and probably others I've missed. Why start yet another one?

If you're not on _their_ lists, why do you think they'll join _your_ list?

Creating such a list is the easy part (Duncan and Sandy just did it
for PRIVACY 101)..the hard part is having it survive infancy.

I'm thinking (again) about setting up a specialized mailing list for
discussing cryptography...
