Oops. Secret nonce/seed for blinding for DH and ElGamal was 2^x mod p.
However if the group generator is 2, that's precisely the public key,
which is hardly secret at all.
Instead use y^x mod p, which while a little dubious in terms of
mathematical structure is probably OK after being hashed through
SHA-512 with some high resolution timestamps.
