Interesting, so then which path(s) does git display when running git-log on this?

blind signatures are nice and verifiably unlinkable but digital bearer certificates require a trusted central "mint" to issue and reissue them. This central point of failure can an…

I blame government zoning laws. These prevent entrepreneurs from opening restaurants and markets near to where people live. In a truly entrepreneurial society, anyone can operate a…
