Re: [Taler] latest draft on the Taler cryptography

Hi Richard,

What you are talking about is discussed right at the beginning of
Section 5 ("Columbian Black Market Exchange"). IMO the common structure
of presenting this kind of work in an academic context is to (1) state
desired properties / adversary model, (2) present the design and then
(3) discuss the limitations (now that the reader understands the design).

Happy hacking!
