No, no no. That's precisely the problem! Bitcoin pubkey-hashes are not like email address, physical address, or paypal address. These latter things are fixed pieces of information that stay constant over time. Bitcoin keys, on the other hand, must be one-use-only. We want to break this association, not strengthen it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJShsDqAAoJEAdzVfsmodw4e+UQAJBk3N7y/1ph8k6K/tPn2RB4 t0TiI46j0WuUghnCiDSOhQiL0EnUWUX8tCa6jH/3ASafBLKVey2LA7LeYoFZXpqJ QEk5S7+eroA6uzzhViDTcoJJ7yH+ivd6dioVApirfnHVYiq6TZuTULhN/5zM6g1J WehI9Rg2C7wj+I71yPJDeGAdtyOeX0iKQy3hN+q7+RIgeZC1viwsq81u6dzVjIZM aPIk6S2VYHSUKhd7wSg+AprCV7jwftKhxDrW6R6KmOGYIG+JdqVnaErc5Wm7ujXk Jnoh6UsQrcx9ck8I4sRTcbb5jGme1taN8RDcKifYqzTVQAr/ziVRqYY57fNAJMm2 lJZ0ctVD1+UB96DzQB4wCuWRoFF5+I9kD2hoEAXA4O9tqcou48lTQ25DAnkcusd+ dD0SfcRsgda8XqnWffGPYaW0E0dQuvu6elO+rzSh4DSCMkroKIvUwdak8Ah5M2lC DyE/efwO9csImbTc1QukedkPskbOqPOo36sH5GdmObKKFCpORIzIO0aDQE1NM2Ib rJurpU0iJ8eA+QT9lpyWG+jjahYpqyVhPcpfVsIewKhI0izBa352IYPbpCv/pdfM oMO/tBfIwUW3jjav3zyFE47hAwistqfV4xds93K9rqpOmLtDIhSuzfmbuXwmciCM d7/3rYQ6FxtyNkEUa27L =5MWw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DreamFactory - Open Source REST & JSON Services for HTML5 & Native Apps OAuth, Users, Roles, SQL, NoSQL, BLOB Storage and External API Access Free app hosting.
