Re: Bit commitment with hashes in Applied Cryptography

No, it's just a mistake. AC's got more mistakes than a whore has crabs. Never rely on it. Always check the primary literature, or at least the HAC, http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/. Using R1 you're basically choosing from a parameterized family of hash functions. But that's not necessary for this; you can choose a fixed hash, junk R1, and just use the single random value R2.

Re: Cypherpunks node spewing blank messages again

The problem is algebra.com has a MX record problem, as a consequence the CDR Hub account gets bounces and they go out and the rest of the nodes send it on out. I've already sent one note out earlier today on it.
