You can tell from its name how long ago it was, and from the fact that you
never heard of it before how successful it was.
If I may respectfully encourage you to look at how you receive your online
banking statements, most likely they are delivered by a system that is
conceptually pretty much like DJB described it back then. ...
Conceptually, sure, but the notice they send me telling me to look at
their web site is a lot more than just a link to the server where the
statement is.
The main advantage for the financial institution is proof on the balance
of probability of the timestamp and statements that have been delivered
to the customer.
Not really. Partly it's that they don't want to send stuff by SMTP where
a glitch could bounce the statement into some random admin's mailbox or a
spam scanner might do who knows what with it. But mostly it's that they
want to train their users to use a web browser with an SSL connection to
look at their bank info.
