容我插一句,问一下为什么会这样?在我看来,如果 Bitcoin 用公钥密码学来转移比特币的所有权,那么加入一条只有收款方可读的短消息应该是轻而易举的事。

Can I just butt in with a question on why that is? To me it seems that if Bitcoin uses public-key cryptography to transfer ownership of the coins, it should be a trivial matter to include a short message that is only readable by the recipient.

差一点,但并不对。Bitcoin 用的是 EC-DSA,它只能做数字签名,不能加密。RSA 两者都能,但我没用它,因为它大出一个数量级,会不切实际。

Almost but not quite. Bitcoin uses EC-DSA, which can only do digital signing, not encryption. RSA can do both, but I didn't use it because it's an order of magnitude bigger and would have been impractical.
