-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello cypherpunks@toad.com ...
I think the most interesting hack to pursue is to eliminate the payee-nonanonymity problem. ...
The <--(blinding)--- payer <--(blinding)--- payee Bank --(unblinding)-> payer --(unblinding)-> payee --> payee spends money
The payer would want to check the proto-coins for values which show through the blinding. Are there any such values? To guard agains unknown possibilities in this area, the payer might want to check that the proto-coins are valid (at least). ...
Privacy for all involved.
How about the bank? Given that the thing's patented, the bank might conceivably wish to remain anonymous :-) Jiri - -- If you want an answer, please mail to <jirib@cs.monash.edu.au>. On sweeney, I may delete without reading!
