What is the chance of this becoming a BIP?
Needs a prototype implementation first. The version with no prefix is the simple one and doesn't have any other dependencies; the prefix version is harder because it isn't clear yet what's the best way to force the prefix, or for that matter whether scriptPubKey or H(scriptPubKey) indexes will be available. It's on my todo list, but as you've probably noticed my todo list is rather long. :) -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 00000000000000028a5c9edabc9697fe96405f667be1d6d558d1db21d49b8857
