<<Wavemeter does not work like an open credit card.. it's
more like an postage meter.>>

Does this provide for privacy/anonymity when making purchases or can someone track the buyer's spending habits and generate a profile? I like using my credit card instead of cash but I am bothered that that information is already being used to categorize my spending habits. I guess those that aren't bothered by the idea will use it, those that are will avoid it.

I have heard of other ideas for anonymous electronic cash from people concerned about privacy. How is the WaveMeter superior?
