Wei Dai announces Disperse/Collect, built from his own Crypto++ library
Wei Dai's announcement of Disperse/Collect version 1.0 on the Cypherpunks mailing list. This post explicitly references 'my own Crypto++ library,' confirming that Dai was not only a theorist but an active, prolific coder who built and shipped software. This context is essential for understanding why he later chose not to implement b-money.
