Irreversible is bad because mistakes happen. I lost ~$1,000 in a bad transfer because of a typo.
Publicly verifiable -- not good because I don't want the public knowing what I buy.
Pseudonymous is the worst of both. Is it or is it not me? them?
I am thinking digital cash using pub keys on a network run from space on something like starlink sats.
Was the option of doing a much smaller amount available to validate the account before following up with the full transfer? I've never understood not doing a test transfer first.
I just got sent real estate documents because the sender used my uncommon firstNameLastName@ gmail, but because they had a typo of the last name it landed in my inbox.
In fact, I have no idea how your comment is relevant to losing money.
You accidentally got someone else's document. How is that relevant to losing money?
As a reminder, you said: "I lost ~$1,000 in a bad transfer because of a typo.". How can you lose ~$1,000 because of someone else's typo in which an e-mail landed in your inbox?
