Only if all that information is collected and stored. Digital finance systems tend to track every transaction and keep a record of them (because of legal requirements among other reasons). With cash in an envelope a government can't check all the info you suggested a year after the payment has happened, perhaps not even after a few days.

Sorry frongt, but I think you're wrongt, haha. I don't think mailing cash is less private than other methods. If anyone was concerned enough to the point they were sending cash, they might also take precaution to send coins instead of notes, wearing gloves when handling them, folding their own envelope - do people still lick envelopes anymore? - using lettering stamps instead of handwriting... Forgive me for the joke on your username, made me laugh.

That's only a concern if Proton keeps all the envelopes people send them, and the authorities are willing to sift through them all and check the fingerprints on them one by one.

Ok, so in what other way should they allow anonymous payments?
