 When the base point $B$ is not fixed, the method in the preceding section
 cannot be used. Instead we use a naïve double-and-add method.

 Given $k = \vsum{i=0}{250} k_i \smult 2^i$, we calculate $R = \scalarmult{k}{B}$ using:
 
 \begin{formulae}
-  \item $\Acc_u := k_{250} \bchoose B_u : 0$
-  \item $\Acc_{\vv}\hairspace := k_{250} \bchoose B_{\vv} : 1$
-  \item for $i$ from $249$ down to $0$:
-  \item \tab $\Acc := \scalarmult{2}{\Acc}$
-  \item \tab let $\Sum = \Acc + B$
-  \item \tab // select $\Acc$ or $\Sum$ depending on the bit $k_i$
-  \item \tab $\Acc_u := k_i \bchoose \Sum_u : \Acc_u$
-  \item \tab $\Acc_{\vv}\hairspace := k_i \bchoose \Sum_{\vv} : \Acc_{\vv}$
-  \item let $R = \Acc$.
