Not sure if this is relevant to you, but there's a blinded coins, open source implementation called lucre: http://anoncvs.aldigital.co.uk/lucre/ What is lucre? lucre is an implementation (in C++ and Java) of David Wagner's Diffie-Hellman variant on Chaumian blinding. This variant is thought to be unprotected by patents, however, you use it at your own risk. --Luc --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
