It's out there. You're such an asshole. Daniel's actual statement was simply: >> I know of no protocol for transfering blinded tokens with a receipt, but I >> do not rule out the possibility of its existence. This is what you characterized as a "unitary global claim". Aside from the fact that "unitary" is meaningless in this context, his claim was far from "global". Instead it was a very modest statement about what aspects of the technology he was familiar with, and explicitly admitted the possibility that he might be mistaken. I don't think you could ask for anything more in a world where no one has perfect knowledge about any topic. While Daniel Nagy has been a model of politeness and modesty in his claims here, you have reverted to your usual role as an arrogant bully. If Daniel's project should be successful then you will undoubtedly switch over to your other mode of communication, obsequious ass-kissing. I have experienced both from you, in my many names and roles, and I have no taste for either one. I would encourage Daniel not to waste any more time interacting with Hettinga. CP

As far as the issue of receipts in Chaumian ecash, there have been a couple of approaches discussed. The simplest goes like this. If Alice will pay Bob, Bob supplies Alice with a blinded proto-coin, along with a signed statement, "I will perform service X if Alice supplies me with a mint signature on this value Y". Alice pays to get the blinded proto-coin Y signed by the mint. Now she can give it to Bob and show the signature on Y in the future to prove that she upheld her end. A slightly more complicated one starts again with Bob supplying Alice with a blinded proto-coin, which Alice signs. Now she and Bob do a simultaneous exchange of secrets protocol to exchange their two signatures. This can be done for example using the commitment scheme of Damgard from Eurocrypt 93. Bob gets the signature necessary to create his coin, and Alice gets the signed receipt (or even better, perhaps Bob's signature could even constitute the service Alice is buying). I would be very interested to hear about a practical application which combines the need for non-reversibility (which requires a degree of anonymity) with the need to be able to prove that payment was made (which seems to imply access to a legal system to force performance, an institution which generally will require identification).

So this dupe/spy/wannabe journalist thinks that journalists should be *special*.. how nice. Where in the 1st amendment is the class journalists mentioned? She needs a WMD enema. LAS VEGAS (AP) -- New York Times reporter Judith Miller defended her decision to go to jail to protect a source and told a journalism conference Tuesday that reporters need a federal shield law so that others won't face the same sanctions. http://wireservice.wired.com/wired/story.asp?section=Breaking&storyId=11040…
