The recent evens (see the thread titled\n\u003e \"OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k incompatible, causes blockchain rejection.\"\n\u003e on this mailing list) have made it clear that the problem is very\n\u003e real, however, and I would prefer to have a fundamental solution for\n\u003e it sooner rather than later.\n\u003e \n\u003e I therefore propose a softfork to make non-DER signatures illegal\n\u003e (they've been non-standard since v0.8.0).
