But they don't track /where/ the Nuyen is, just that it's incredibly stupidly long authentication certificate is legal and unique. Without encryption that will not work. You need that one hop at a time audit trail. Yes, this is stupid, but not as stupid as a world that depends of electronic funds and has no ability to do very strong and very fast one-way functions. |

"OK, who do we have to bribe at the Caribbean First Bank of Chrome Accountant in order to get the name of the people transferring the funds?" "Actually, we did bribe him, and he provided the data... Numbered accounts only, no names, no way to trace them more than that." "DAMNIT!" Fine. I want every director and above at that bank dead by the end of the quarter. |

I remember one of the novels talking about trading a credstick for some paper new-ones. I know that was "decades" ago but think there is still a paper circulation going around? Like in the Underground? Might be a place to make some physical cash and have it exchanged.

Paying them in easily redeemable non-cash forms is fine too. Precious metals, guns, vehicle parts, gems, girls, drugs, etc. "How much for the little girl?" |
