I believe I understand what the opcode does directly=E2=80=94 it just
validates an opaque signautre. I don't understand how it enables
anonymous transactions.
Can you spell this out for me?
In particular I don't see why it is not, from the perspective of the
blockchain, isomorphic to a hash locked transaction. (This
equivalence is more obvious when you think about how lamport
signtures turn simple hashing into a one time signature).
