Re: [Asrg] The fundamental misconception about POSTAGE METERS

2008-12-03 16:27:45
All the sender does is present his identity.  The recipient's postage
meter issues a stamp which is only good for sending one message to that
recipient.  The sender's "coin" has to come from a bank trusted by the
recipient   [...]

But can we please stop arguing from the assumption that senders can
arbitrarily print and re-use one stamp for many recipients?

In the scenario above, what happens when a sender buys one coin and
simultaneously presents it to 1000 recipients?

R's,
John
