Usually conflicts with offline double spending detection. \item \textbf{Traceability.} Means that (a threshold of) authorities can deanonymize a customer if required (e.g. to catch a criminal). \item \textbf{Transferability.}. Ability to transfer a coin from one user to another. \item \textbf{Taxability / Income Transparency.} E-Cash can't be reliably transferred without the transaction being recorded at the exchange. \item \textbf{Time/Storage for Deposit.} Often not considered, especially in ``constant time'' schemes. \item \textbf{Time/Storage for Withdrawal.} \item \textbf{Divisibility/Change.}. \item \textbf{Robust Spending.} The customer either can prove that they payed for a contract, or they can get their (unlinkable) money back. \item \textbf{Provably Secure.} \item \textbf{Endorsed (??).} Separation of the coin and permission to spend it, see \cite{camenisch2007endorsed}. Allows fair exchange (?). \end{itemize} \bibliography{literature} \bibliographystyle{alpha} \end{document}
