BTW, there are better solutions to operating without a mint account, but they are not widely available yet.
Are you referring to the receiver anonymous protocol? This is how I understand that protocol, Alice wants to receive e$1 from Bob. She creates a random number, blinds it, and gives the blinded number to Bob. He shows the number to the Mint, asking for a withdrawal of e$1 with a signature on this coin number. Bob gives the signed and still blinded coin to Alice. She unblinds it and spends it, end of story. I thought that in this scenario, Bob can spend the coin before he gives it to Alice, so she runs the risk of receiving a coin that has already been spent. Is it impossible to spend a blinded coin if you can't unblind it? Or are you thinking of something totally different? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBM/Rda8Uc8bdD9cnfEQI0wgCfQJb5KR0P+F0zfRqD+r0v98tKHrYAn2gF rmIGdBzCyeZnzIjuVVa+hQGy =gXCF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Mike.
