Re: Citation of your Hashcash paper (b-money pointer)

Yes citation looks fine, I’ll take a look at your paper. You maybe aware of the “B-money” proposal, I guess google can find it for you, by Wei Dai which sounds to be somewhat related to your paper. (The b-money idea is just described concisely on his web page, he didnt write up a paper.)

I’m getting ready to release a paper that references your Hashcash paper and I wanted to make sure I have the citation right. Here’s what I have:

[5] A. Back, “Hashcash - a denial of service counter-measure,” http://www.hashcash.org/papers/hashcash.pdf, 2002.

I think you would find it interesting, since it takes a hash-based proof-of-work as a way to make e-cash work. You can download a pre-release draft at http://www.upload.ae/file/6157/ecash-pdf.html Feel free to forward it to anyone else you think would be interested. I’m also nearly finished with a C++ implementation to release as open source.
