> I haven't yet heard a rational explanation for just how badly ECDSA mangles the Schnorr protocol in exactly the way that means a lot of implementations end up with horrible security holes.
I thought schnorr was under patent for a bit, so an open alternative was needed? Also ECDSA does allow for recovery of the public key from the signature, which can be useful.
