one of them to guess the value of your transaction. In addition, knowing v1 (from
a previous transaction for example) and the resulting `v1*H` reveals all outputs with
value v1 across the blockchain. For these reasons, we introduce a second ECC curve
_G_ and a private key _r_ used as a *blinding factor*.

a private key _r_ used as a *blinding factor*.
An input or output value in a transaction can then be expressed as:
