For reference, there was a brief time where I was irritated that the size had been reduced to 40 bytes, because I had an application where I wanted to put ECDSA in signatures in the OP_RETURN, and you're going to need at least 64 bytes for that. Unfortunately I can't remember now what that application was, so it's difficult for me to argue for it. But I don't think that's an unreasonable use case: sending a payment with a signature, essentially all timestamped in the blockchain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
