I got some\npositive feedback, but no one wanted to help improve it, etc.  I guess\nnobody else was doing it and/or cared at the time.  So I continue to use\nBIP 10 even though it's pretty crappy.  I wanted it to be useful for\nmultisig, too, but it has some deficiencies there (it was done when\nArmory was extremely young and OP_EVAL was still on the table).\n\nHowever, with all this activity, we should start thinking about that and\ndiscussing it.  Otherwise, I'll just do my own thing again and probably\nend up with something that fits my own needs, but not anyone else's. \nReally though, multisig shouldn't require all the same app to work.\n\n-Alan\n\n\nOn 03/10/2014 01:49 PM, Gavin Andresen wrote:\n\u003e In my experience, best process for standardizing something is:\n\u003e\n\u003e 1) Somebody has a great idea\n\u003e 2) They implement it\n\u003e 3) Everybody agrees, \"Great idea!\" and they copy it.\n\u003e 4) Idea gets refined by the people copying it.\n\u003e 5) It gets standardized.\n\u003e\n\u003e Mutisig wallets are at step 2 right now.

Users have to\n\u003e     exchange public keys, work out how to get the public keys from\n\u003e     their addresses. If one of the parties are not savvy enough, an\n\u003e     malicious party could easily be setup that was 2 of 3 instead of 2\n\u003e     of 2 where the malicious party generates the multisig\n\u003e     address+script and thus be able to run off with funds anyway.\n\u003e\n\u003e     It's also terribly complex to generate and keep track of. There's\n\u003e     been a nice attempt at creating an browser interface at\n\u003e     coinb.in/multisig \u003chttp://coinb.in/multisig\u003e but it still lacks\n\u003e     the kind of ease with created by the payment protocol. If there\n\u003e     was a BIP then it would go a long way to aiding future usability\n\u003e     of multisig wallet implementations.\n\u003e\n\u003e     What are your thoughts?\n\u003e\n\u003e     Drak\n\u003e\n\u003e     ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\u003e     Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book\n\u003e     \"Graph Databases\" is the definitive new guide to graph databases\n\u003e     and their\n\u003e     applications.
