However, there are a finite number of usable values and one could tr 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*. +_G_ (practically G is just another generator point on the same curve group as H) and +a private key _r_ used as a *blinding factor*. An input or output value in a transaction can then be expressed as:
