I hardly conceded the point. I said suggesting that I post it in ~lol was a good comeback (which it was).
I do think we pretty much exhausted your line of reasoning. You don't believe ecash is any different than an SQL database.
While I agree that you can be rugged by the mint, I don't agree that the mint has the same level of insight into the ecash transactions that happen between users of the mint.
between users of the mint
Which we concluded was an appeal to mintstitutional use and has nothing to do with Bitcoin
reply
No, we concluded that people do not discuss the minimum anonset (number of unique users) necessary for an ecash mint's claims about privacy to be true. And it would be good if they did.
Nor did I say ecash has nothing useful to do with bitcoin. It is not bitcoin but may be useful to bitcoin.
You may have concluded these things but I am not convinced by the arguments you presented.

This is self-contradicting
The latter part is conditional, it's no more related or useful to Bitcoin than SQL is
reply
I'm confused by what you are saying.
Do you think there is anything that is not bitcoin but is useful to it?
reply
Yes, what I'm saying is that ECash is less useful than SQL
reply
That's fine. I don't care whether it is less or more useful than SQL. I'm interested in what its uses might be. And whether we can do something with it that is good for freedom money.
reply
It's useful for people that hate freedom money

So why don't you actually put your thoughts down and make the case in a post? Just arguing in the comments here isn't very coherent.
