1 2017-01-21 21:17:57 <ThomasV> why was BIP142 deferred?
 2 2017-01-21 21:18:58 <ThomasV> BlueMatt: ^
 3 2017-01-21 21:37:00 <luke-jr> ThomasV: jl2012 is the one you'd want to ping
 4 2017-01-21 21:37:16 <luke-jr> probably because addresses have so many problems that need to be addressed
 5 2017-01-21 21:37:38 <ThomasV> luke-jr: can you tell me more about it?
 6 2017-01-21 21:37:59 <ThomasV> jl2012: ^
 7 2017-01-21 21:38:14 <luke-jr> ThomasV: clearly the community wants reusable addresses. so something like stealth addresses is needed. multisig is also a desired feature
 8 2017-01-21 21:38:53 <BlueMatt> ThomasV: because people want better checksums/not base 54
 9 2017-01-21 21:39:05 <luke-jr> BlueMatt: eh, that's the easy part to solve
10 2017-01-21 21:39:15 <BlueMatt> well thats why, in this case
11 2017-01-21 21:39:32 <BlueMatt> and i believe the works underway to replace it do not attempt to address anything further
12 2017-01-21 21:40:49 <ThomasV> BlueMatt: thanks
13 2017-01-21 21:41:47 <ThomasV> I guess you mean base 58
14 2017-01-21 21:41:54 <BlueMatt> yes
15 2017-01-21 21:41:58 <BlueMatt> that
16 2017-01-21 21:44:44 <ThomasV> BlueMatt: where can I find info about the replacement?
17 2017-01-21 21:44:51 <BlueMatt> ping sipa
18 2017-01-21 21:44:57 <ThomasV> heh
