Why 1980's Bitcoin Version FAILED - eCash

Don't forget to like the video! <3

the issue is really if it features a blockchain thats completely exposed, its very much traceable. theres only 4 or 5 coins that exist to truly be private.

What a great video, thank you. David never stopped inventing, though anyone promoting a thing called eCash as I've seen in these comments is being disingenuous and is nothing to do with him. If you're interested in what Dr Chaum is up to nowadays, it's all privacy focussed under the hat of the 'xx network'. Again, way ahead of his time but some of the ideology of the days of the original eCash carries on in the sense of trying to claw back a bit of autonomy for ourselves in a world where the internet has now evolved to make products of us in return for advertising and loss of privacy. Someone here lamented the idea of a micropayment based web but had eCash succeeded in the 90's then we wouldn't have sold our souls to the tech giants who wield more power than was imaginable back then.

Thumbs up.

So eCash wasn't a cryptocurrency so much as an anonymous online payment system... a way to use your real-world money to make online payments. Really interesting, the serial number & stamp idea is basically a digital version of how travellers cheques worked... each travellers cheque had a unique serial number & was stamped by the issuing bank/office, making each cheque traceable around the world. To cash them at a bank/currency exchange, the teller would check the serial numbers & bank details against a worldwide report to confirm they hadn't been cashed before, weren't fake or reported lost/stolen. Shame that Chaum was so determined to sabotage all his potential lucrative contracts... but if that saved us from an internet browsing experience driven by micro-transactions it was a worthy cause! 👍

Wow, dont you want to go back in time and bitchslap people into seeing reason?

The technology still exists and fits all of the requirements that the US Government is looking for. I think we will see the technology resurrected for modern use. It was just too far ahead of its time.

ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ 😁

I've been buying eCash and holding for the long term! I am sure this project will explode.

Wow so Chaum was like the OG Satoshi I guess. Weird to think he got denied because he was basically too ahead of his time. Cool vid thanks Nello

Gotta say man this channel is really good. Keep it up

heyyyy that's pretty good.

so, if it wasn't a patented licensed technology, it would have become standard in the 90s?
as much as i admired David Chaum, i feel differently now.

Wow this guy makes cool videos! I should press the like button! :P
