"One thing is clear: this is a serious project now, and we need to start taking decentralization seriously," said Wladimir van der Laan.
No me he dedicado nunca a nada de eso, así que no tengo ninguna preocupación
Lo mejor de los números, es que no hay nada que explicar.

"Interestingly, one of the e-gold systems already has a form of spam called "dusting". Spammers send a tiny amount of gold dust in order to put a spam message in the transaction's comment field.
If the system let users configure the minimum payment they're willing to receive, or at least the minimum that can have a message with it, users could set how much they're willing to get paid to receive spam."

CONCLUSION
REFERENCES

Electronic payment systems come in many forms including digital checks,
debit cards, credit cards, and stored value cards. The usual security
features for such systems are privacy (protection from eavesdropping),
authenticity (provides user identification and message integrity), and
nonrepudiation (prevention of later denying having performed a
transaction) .

The type of electronic payment system focused on in this paper is
electronic cash. As the name implies, electronic cash is an attempt to
construct an electronic payment system modelled after our paper cash
system. Paper cash has such features as being: portable (easily
carried), recognizable (as legal tender) hence readily acceptable,
transferable (without involvement of the financial network), untraceable
(no record of where money is spent), anonymous (no record of who spent
the money) and has the ability to make "change." The designers of
electronic cash focused on preserving the features of untraceability and
anonymity. Thus, electronic cash is defined to be an electronic payment
system that provides, in addition to the above security features, the
properties of user anonymity and payment untraceability.. https://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=149737566020654&w=2
