In this commit, we propose a purely syntactical change to the current blinded paths specification. Rather than denote the public key of the i-th node as
E(i)
, we propose that instead it's denoted as:E_i
. This results in less overall characters, and is more similar to notation customarily used in LaTeX.My personal preference is that the proposed notation is easier to scan at a glance, and also less ambiguous (doesn't look like a function call).
