@chiraag @pixelpusher220 I think it’s ridiculous that there don’t exist secure, regulated dropboxes for incoming legalish correspondence like receipts + bank statements. If we were not so dogmatically private-sector biased, this would be a no-brainer to publicly bootstrap. Under the system that’s emerged, almost no one files this sort of correspondence well. Bootstrapping such a system without some public leadership is hard, and might result in a dangerous monopoly.

@chiraag @pixelpusher220 Any credit-card should be linked to these addresses. It’d be the end of paper receipts, except for cash transactions. We’d all get secure, hashed, timestamped, notarized receipts in our dropbox on purchase.

@chiraag @pixelpusher220 (if they hadn’t been grandfathered in by tradition, we’d have no public postal service or library either. there is so much good we can do by public, collective, action, if we rouse ourselves from dogma and against those whose interests are bound up with our deficiencies.)
