One thing that Neuromancer had, but we never got, was credsticks.

I want a fee-free electronic wallet that is anonymous.

Also, we really need a law saying that the credit card companies (and others in the toolchain) can't use our data for anything but payment processing. I'm sick of being tracked by my transactions.

Well, it's easy to write "credsticks" into a novel, but rather hard to actually implement them. How would they work? The closest thing we have are probably physical Bitcoins, but there you need to trust the issuer not to have a copy of the private keys.

We combined our credsticks into our mobile devices
