šļø Summary of this message: The text discusses the implementation of a version of 2-of-2 Schnorr Musig2 for statechains, where the server is fully blinded. The security relies on the server reporting the number of partial signatures generated and verifying the full set of signatures client-side. The protocol involves generating private and public keys, aggregating the public keys, and signing a message using nonces.
š Original message:
as long as all parties provide a proof of secret key along with their
public key, that should not be possible
or you can do it as a two-step process where all parties provide a
commitment to the public key and nobody reveals a public key until that
commitment is received
or if you want to be paranoid you can do both
