With the expiration of Chaum's key patents it was assumed that someone
would step up an try their hand at launching a DBC-based financial
service. Some time has passed and I'm happy to announce that this has
finally happened. Taking a cue from the lively Digital Gold Currencies,
eCache's first denomination if gold backed. Unlike Digicash's instruments,
eCache is using a mixing technique, rather than blinding, to help preserve
unlinkability. Its mint is located on a hidden server in TOR-land. More

Comments are invited about the technology and governance aspects that such
financial services invoke.
