If\nthere was a way for a Bitcoin user to provide feedback on a payment (ECDSA\nsignature from one of the addresses involved in the payment, signing an\nidentifier of the payment and a feedback score) such that any user can add\nto the reputation with just the Bitcoin infrastructure, without having to\nlearn X.500 certificate signing on top of EC signatures? If there was a\nstandard structure for a message to be EC-signed with your Bitcoin client,\nand then a distributed store of those signed messages, could that form a\nreputation score?\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20140306/3f35eb4a/attachment.html\u003e"}
