You can walk into the grocery store and buy eggs in a completely anonymous transaction, unless you want to use your debit card or for whatever reason sign up for their stupid loyalty programs. Point is, it's easy to do. Online commerce should have such an option too, especially since the presence of online stores could kill brick and mortar stores. If anonymity in online purchases were impossible that would be one thing (although then I'd just say online commerce wasn't yet ready for prime time), but the goal should be to have customers have all the same freedoms they had with B&M, one of which was anonymity. Now for physical goods, even if you solve the payment anonymity issue, there remains the barrier that you have to tell them how to get you the product, so that would have to be solved. I have an idea for that though. UPS and other shippers can have facilities to hold the goods, which they release to the first person with the proper code, no ID required.
Way freakin cool.
The pursuit of freedom is the root of America. The branches include Eric Snowden. The gooberment we have is an abomination
our Constitution doesn’t allow but our congress critters perpetuate.
Our genius got BIG into computers and, business of course.
Mr. Wilson and his cypherpunk friends WILL grow old and die. I suppose they'll want to be buried with their techie telephones. What do you think?
Not, strictly speaking, a 3-D printer ping...
