Anonymous Cash
Posted on:: February 14th, 2003
The Lucre Project has released a new version of its code. From the announcement:
A third release is available today along with a new website and, importantly, a graphical client called CashBox.
Lucrative is based on Ben Laurie’s Lucre project. Lucre is a system of blinded digital cash. It is unlinkable and untraceable: the bank cannot record the coins it issues to customers, and cannot identify which account is paying which, except by traffic analysis.
This is ‘true anonymous digital cash’ folks.
Lucrative is building a server anyone can use to build their own digital bearer instrument underwriting business.
First I’ve heard of it (which puts me at least two releases behind)…

Hi, a clarification. The Lucre project is not the Lucrative project.
The Lucre project is Ben Laurie’s blinded signature digital cash protocol and some demonstration source code.
Taking that, and without endorsement from Ben Laurie, I made Lucrative, which is a web service that uses the protocol (and some of Ben’s source code).
Thanks
