[Cryptography] Anonymous rendezvous (was Business opportunities in crypto)

[Salz, Rich]

Don’t feed … oh heck.


  *   If NewEgg and its reviewers were strongly pseudonymous, and their product links
were hashes to immutable data or a third party signature to mutable data, it would
work even better.

Why would it be better and in what ways? Please be specific, and don’t just do a hand-wave about it being the way of the future.

Instead of being able to easily see that my colleague Jon, whom I trust, wrote something. I know have to maintain my own directory of digests to names?  And not just me, but everyone?  Please explain what the *benefit* of this is.

I don’t want the whole world to post things pseudonymously. I want to filter based on the identifiers that I can understand and already have decades of knowledge about. But you seem to want to throw that away.  Again: why?
