I got some positive feedback, but no one wanted to help improve it, etc. I guess nobody else was doing it and/or cared at the time. So I continue to use BIP 10 even though it's pretty crappy. I wanted it to be useful for multisig, too, but it has some deficiencies there (it was done when Armory was extremely young and OP_EVAL was still on the table). However, with all this activity, we should start thinking about that and discussing it. Otherwise, I'll just do my own thing again and probably end up with something that fits my own needs, but not anyone else's. Really though, multisig shouldn't require all the same app to work. -Alan On 03/10/2014 01:49 PM, Gavin Andresen wrote: > In my experience, best process for standardizing something is: > > 1) Somebody has a great idea > 2) They implement it > 3) Everybody agrees, "Great idea!" and they copy it. > 4) Idea gets refined by the people copying it. > 5) It gets standardized. > > Mutisig wallets are at step 2 right now.
