How can we construct a ZKPoK which hides both $x$ and the witness $W_x$ in dynamic accumulators?

Consider a verification equation $ e(\Delta,\tilde{G}) = e(W_x,x\tilde{G}+pk_{acc})$ from a pairing based accumulator which uses the value $x$ and the corresponding witness $W_x$ to verify that a value $x$ is accumulated in the accumulator $\Delta$.

For anonymous credential system for multishow unlinkability, we often need to present a ZKPoK $\pi_v$ showing that $x$ is accumulated in $\Delta$ without revealing $x$ and the witness $W_x$.

\begin{equation} \label{piverification} \begin{split} \pi_{v} &= \mathrm{ZKPoK}\{(x,W_x): e(\Delta,\tilde{G}) = e(W_x,x\tilde{G}+pk_{acc}) \wedge Commit(x,\tilde{r})\}. \end{split} \end{equation}

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
