I hope that u won't create a "solution" that leaks private key bits. I'm against the changes until I see a formal proof, so u better talk to Jean-Luc.

Well, I understand math behind the change. (Please, spend 5 min, to read original BloodyRookie's post).

The ONLY difference to original sign is that (x-h) is represented correctly.
(and it WON'T leak keys, attacker would STILL need to solve DLP problem in that group:
 or in other words, if s is priv key, what is the difference between a*s and a'*s)

I'm going to run NRS with patched Curve from now on.
