This was the entire point\nof the proposal. You authorize who you choose to give your payment address\nto, and the sender can verify who they are sending payment to. All\ncommunication and payment info are encrypted against third party snooping,\nwhile still allowing asynchronous communication to accommodate ephemeral\nmobile connections.\n\nThe fact that some people will choose to use this identity information for\nAML/KYC purposes doesn't detract at all from the fact that it gives bitcoin\nusers the tools they need to keep their payment information private, and\nonly communicate it with the parties they choose.\n\nAaron Voisine\nco-founder and CEO\nbreadwallet \u003chttp://breadwallet.com/\u003e\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20160623/a4f599d1/attachment.html\u003e"}
