Subject: [Bitcoin-development] one-show signatures (Re: The relationship between Proof-of-Publication and Anti-Replay Oracles)
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2014 18:10:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALqxMTFK_sxdFjVi0qAC0JMdXa=tVBBNp0VrveRUfwa3b1UYhw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Yes you could for example define a new rule that two signatures
(double-spend) authorises something - eg miners to take funds. (And
this would work with existing ECDSA addresses & unrestricted R-value
choices).

I wasnt really making a point other than an aside that it maybe is
sort-of possible to do with math what you said was not possible where
you said "This [preventing signing more than one message] is
impossible to implement with math alone".
