No more jackets and ties... --RAH] The Digital Commerce Society of Boston Presents Zulfikar Ramzan, Financial Cryptographer, MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and Dr. Nicko Van Someren, Financial Cryptographer, Chief Technology Officer, nCipher PLC, "Aspen" vs. "Hancock": Minting Millidollars for Streaming Cash Tuesday, November 7th, 2000 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA Zulfikar Ramzan is currently a PhD student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he works with the Cryptography and Information Security research group. At MIT, he works under the supervision of Professor Ronald Rivest, co-inventor of the RSA public-key cryptosystem and the Micromint micropayment protocol. He has authored a number of publications in the field of cryptography and has presented his research at various conferences in his field [including the International Conference on Financial Cryptography --RAH]. He holds a number of patents in data security, and some of his work is being considered for use in several national and international standards in the wireless communications industry. Mr. Ramzan has worked in cryptographic algorithm and protocol design with the Wireless Secure Communications group at Lucent Technologies. Upon graduation, Mr. Ramzan will join Lucira Technologies. Dr Nicko van Someren co-founded nCipher in 1996. As Chief Technology Officer Nicko leads nCipher's research team and directs the technical development of nCipher products. From 1993 to 1996, Nicko was Technical Director and co-founder of ANT Limited, where he developed hardware products and application software. Before that, he was employed as a Researcher by Xerox EuroPARC and as a Software Engineer by Atari Research and Perihelion Software Limited. Nicko has almost 20 years' experience in cryptography, software and hardware product development, and holds a Doctorate and First Class degree in Computer Science from Trinity College, Cambridge, UK. Zully Ramzan will talk about the proposed design of Aspen: a practical Micromint implementation for IBUC, the Internet Bearer Underwriting Corporation. In addition to going over the basic underlying protocols, he will discuss the various design and parameter choices. He will also examine the practical ramifications of these decisions. Thereafter he will discuss potential modifications and extensions that may be of use for future implementations of Aspen. The ideas he will present are based on discussions with Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir, the two co-inventors of Micromint. Nicko van Someren will then talk about the practical problems surrounding the implementation of a MicroMint. He will consider the engineering issues along with the economic issues and look at how the nature of MicroMint mandates various unhelpful deployment issues. He will also consider alternatives to MicroMint which aim to solve these issues. [Including a signature-based solution IBUC is calling, for lack of a better moniker, "Hancock", which would be about 100 times cheaper to prototype, much less get to market, and streaming cash on the wire in 3-6 months. :-) --RAH] Want to know what IBUC's going to do *now*? Come to the November DCSB meeting and find out. Appropriately enough, this meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Election Day, Tuesday, November 7th, 2000, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $35.00. This price includes lunch, room rental, A/V hardware if necessary, and the speakers' lunch. The Harvard Club has relaxed its dress code, which is now "business casual", meaning no sneakers or jeans. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your meal if the Club finds you in violation of what's left of its dress code. We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, November 4th, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston

Hello Mr. Barnes, It surprises me that you have such harsh words to say about the my servie, however, every month I get a check for the same amount from you. Khurram Khan --- "Geoff Barnes" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In truth, Khurram, emails are rarely, if ever, answered. I have personally sent 11, and have gotten one, maybe two responses. Response to the last one was a single word. Fortunately for me, that word was "funded". No apologies for the delays. Your website states that a phone number is "in progress", and has for some time, yet if one looks hard on the EGold site, they have a phone number for you. Of course, it is only answered by a machine and my two phone calls got no return call. You also whine and make excuses for non-delivery, market conditions, etc. and seem to be willing to only take responsibility for the "easy" transactions. You hold checks beyond a reasonable time. If we take the time to FedEx a check to you, is it silly to expect a short email saying "we've got it! we're on it! Expect to be funded on [date]. And an email to complete the transaction, saying that the account was funded and "thank you very much for your patronage"? We do a very steady business. Almost "free money" for you. We know what Customer Service means. I'm sure you have SOME concept in your head when somebody uses this term, but it certainly seems a far cry from the accepted reality. I've seen you blast people on this list when it is you who are in the wrong. I sympathize with them. Despite the hassles of connecting with a new vendor, we're taking our business elsewhere. Anyplace where "Customer Service" is understood and applied, and where there is some sense that our commerce is appreciated. I'm not the first to tire of you, Khurram, and I'm certain I will not be the last. I suggest that you, your staff(?) and anybody mildly interested in running a business visit, read and understand the materials at www.cluetrain.com.

If you provided us with your account number correctly, that check has been funded. If you have problems contact the Kissmygold support first please! All emails are answered and the customer service department of Kissmygold can help you better then I can.

And it has been cashed on 10/19/2000 - I know it exactly. I have e-mailed KissMyHold and got no reply. As usually, I get no reply from "Market Makers". At least none of my friends got reply from KMG. Does KMG work honestly?

[e-gold-list] OmniPay still in business?
I've probably missed some stuff, but is Omnipay still in business? I was unable to get their website to work, being constantly cut off and told I'd timed out - after less than 3 minutes! Have written and called them. No answers. Also wrote to Jim Ray. No response. Are they still around? --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
