I fully understand how privacy coins like XMT audit their supply. They assume that Pedersen commitments r*G+v*H can only be openend in one way. Which is false if the discrete log of H w.r.t. G is known. I said "I think" because there might by privacy coins not based on Pedersen commitments that I'm just not aware of.

Whelp, I'm gonna be bullish on some kind of move from cryptocurrency to a cypherpunk / plan9-esque Renaissance of distributed social computing, maybe taking ideas from e lang, and sprinkling in some web of trust auditable ledger if its appropriate and get the heck out of (web3) Dodge.
