I believe I understand what the opcode does directly— it just validates an opaque signautre. I don't understand how it enables anonymous transactions. Can you spell this out for me? In particular I don't see why it is not, from the perspective of the blockchain, isomorphic to a hash locked transaction. (This equivalence is more obvious when you think about how lamport signtures turn simple hashing into a one time signature). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
