> Every person to person transaction of the instrument leaves no digital record or footprint

That's true of cash as well, but that doesn't mean it's totally untraceable, as bills still have serial numbers. I think what GP is getting at is, Kong notes must completely lack any sort of persistent unique identifier in order to be an improvement over cash in anonymity. Can Kong make this claim?

>What is a lovely property of Kong is the only digital breadcrumb is leaves is when notes are loaded at creation and unloaded at de-circulation. Every person to person transaction of the instrument leaves no digital record or footprint.

What problem does that solve for me though? What benefit does that afford me? Why does that matter to me?

Except that real cash, in comparison, has no digital footprints. Why the hell wouldn't I just use cash?
