Re: [Asrg] no e-postage

5 billion transactions per day doesn't impress me as proof positive
of anything, particularly world-wide.

Obviously if we can deliver that many emails per day THEN WE CLEARLY
CAN HANDLE THAT MANY TRANSACTIONS PER DAY! Nicht wahr?

The fact we perform 5 billion transactions with no charge mechanism in an
entirely decentralized fashion does not provide an existence proof for
being able to resolve 5 billion charge transactions. ...

Wow, who'd have thought that Phill would write a message and I'd agree
with every word.

Since what Barry seems to mean by e-postage is what other people call
rate limiting and perhaps usage based charging, I wouldn't be averse
to some suggestions about how we might do the former.
