+There's at least one node who's inbound IP keeps changing all the

+Hal sort of alluded to the possibility that it could be seen as a
+long-odds investment.  I would be surprised if 10 years from now
+we're not using electronic currency in some way, now that we know
+a way to do it that won't inevitably get dumbed down when the TTP
+gets cold feet.
+
+Even if it doesn't take off straight away, it's now available for
+use by the next guy who comes up with a plan that needs some kind
+of token or electronic currency.  It could get started in a closed
+system or narrow niche like reward points, donation tokens,
+currency for a game or micropayments for adult sites.  Once it
+gets bootstrapped, there are so many applications if you could
+effortlessly pay a few cents to a website as easily as dropping
+coins in a vending machine. 
+
+It can already be used for pay-to-send e-mail.  The send dialog is
+resizeable and you can enter as long of a message as you like.
+It's sent directly when it connects.  The recipient doubleclicks
+on the transaction to see the full message.  If someone famous is
+getting more e-mail than they can read, but would still like to
+have a way for fans to contact them, they could set up Bitcoin and
+give out the IP address on their website.  "Send X bitcoins to my
+priority hotline at this IP and I'll read the message personally."
+
+Subscription sites that need some extra proof-of-work for their
+free trial so it doesn't cannibalize subscriptions could charge
+bitcoins for the trial.
