Forbes article on Financial Cryptography is coming

Coming soon to a newstand near you...

I hear the article will include pictures of cypherpunks and FC97 attendees
like Ian Goldberg (FC97 workshop leader), Adam Shostack (FC97 workshop
instructor), Sameer Parekh, and Steve Schear.

Not to mention actual financial cryptographers like David Chaum and Ron
Rivest. :-).


Cheers,
Bob Hettinga

I just got called by a fact checker from Forbes.

She said that the article on financial cryptography that Josh McHugh is
doing is one of two being considered for the cover of the next issue.

Having some fun now, as Mr. Martin used to say...

Cheers,

It's out. Sameer made the cover of Forbes with a picture captioned "This
man wants to overthrow the government".

Hot damn...

You can see it at <http://www.forbes.com/forbes.htm>

If that is the case, he better hurry.  "the government" will be obsoleted
in about a decade :).  On the other hand, he probably has been more
persistent in the US than anyone else in hurrying this process of planned
obsolecense.

Marx's dialectic said the government would disappear after everything was
communist.

Cypherpunk's dialectic says the government will disappear after technology
leaves it behind as an old relic of a barbaric past next to the divine
right of kings.

If there is a serpent in the new garden, it is that then we *MUST* govern
ourselves - personally, and individually, and I don't know how many are
capable of living virtuously.  But at least the virtuous won't be taxed to
subsidize the vicious.
