Could you expand more on how prefix trees could be used for time-stamping and merged mining? > >>> dict = AuthTree() > >>> dict['Curie'] = VARINT(1898) > >>> dict('Einstein') = VARINT(1905) > >>> dict['Fleming'] = VARINT(1928) > >>> dict['中本'] = VARINT(2009) I'd be inclined to leave the unicode out of the code examples as many editors and shells still don't copy-and-paste it nicely. Using it in BIP documents themselves is fine and often has advantages re: typesetting, but using it in crypto examples like this just makes it harder to reproduce the results by hand unnecessarily. -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 0000000000000002d7a0c56ae2c5b2b3322d5017cfef847455d4d86a6bc12280
