I've seen your project. I'm asking for a defense of your views about ecash.
reply
I second this. It's getting kind of hard to follow arguments throughout many comment threads.

Without back and forth in comments how am I supposed to know what is over peoples heads?
I shouldn't need to explain any of this, its patently obvious
I don't believe a blog post / pod is going to persuade drive-by readers, it's easier to scam someone than to convince them they've been scammed
This is trench warfare

If it is so obvious, why are there so many people working on ecash? Do you believe they are all stupid or all bad actors?

why are there so many people working on ecash
Already answered this in my initial reply, there's 10s of millions in funding coming into it because it's astroturf
- Some are just ignorant
- Some are bad actors/spooks
- Some just need a paycheck and being able to say they work in Bitcoin is a perk
I'd say 90% of people working on it are some combination of #1 and #3
#2 are definitely present

If you believe that 90% of people in a field are ignorant and/or ruining bitcoin just to pick up a check, it would be wise to write a defense of your thoughts. Otherwise you sound like a crank.

If I decide to go on offense you'll be the first to know, k?

But it would be easier to be able to see all your arguments against ecash all at once. Or at least the onse you've presented in these threads. I'm willing to go consolidate all my arguments for ecash.
