Hi ZmnSCPxj,

I think you're idea of allowing multiple Rs is a fine solution as it
would essentially mean that you were just doing a three party MuSig
with more specific communication structure. As you mentioned, this is
not quite ideal though.

Maybe. Showing certain attacks don't work is a first step. It would
take some deeper analysis of the security model to figure out what
exactly the MuSig requires of the commitment scheme.

This doesn't look binding. It's easy to find another ((A,a),m) which
would validate against (R,s). Just choose m and choose a = (s - r)
h(R||m)^-1.

Cheers,

LL
