Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed are examples of accountable decentralized anonymous payment systems and methods. One such method comprises storing, in a digital wallet, a digital coin that has been signed by a bank computing device; rerandomizing the digital coin and a coin signature to produce a new version of the digital coin that is anonymous with respect to an owner of the digital coin; sending the new version of the digital coin to a recipient computing device; computing a nullifier for the new version of the digital coin using a pseuodorandom function over a serial number of the digital coin; sending the nullifier for the new version of the digital coin to the bank computing device; and providing the bank computing device a zero knowledge proof that a value of the nullifier for the new version of the digital coin is correct and is the same as a nullifier of the digital coin.
