Back to this analogy, I think it's imprecise in a way that's important to n=
ot overlook: you cannot re-use the same gold atoms in two different adverti=
sements. Use of a fidelity bond, being basically a signature, is completely=
 'non-rivalrous' as I think the economists say.

So, general comment: it seems like both you and Eric agree with my uncertai=
n intuition up-thread and therefore do we all agree that the correct soluti=
on (to whatever extent there is one) is something like domain separation ta=
gs, as we discussed earlier? It's still a matter of social consensus: if ap=
pending "JM" to the end of a certificate signature is intended to mean that=
 this fidelity bond can only be used in Joinmarket and not anywhere else, w=
ell we can only as individual users demand that (i.e. *I* might not accept =
it in Teleport, but what if Fred down the street does? It's not enough for =
me to rely on my own criteria!), and more subtly, it makes sense only if we=
 all have an unambiguous definition of what Joinmarket *is* - ironically it=
 is precisely the thing brought most into question by the achievement of re=
al decentralization in a system.
