[sudo-discuss] blinded signing and free money for sudoroom

[Jake]

it sure does!  but the handshake people are real and i've met some of them.

you can read through the details of why and how they need verification of who
people are but the point is that there's still a lot of bitcoin money floating
around and spending it is how people buy publicity for their projects, in this
case a sort of namecoin that they're promoting (which you can hold or change to
btc right away)

but yeah, it helps to be able to tell the difference between a scam and a
promotion giving away money.
