Re: [Bitcoin-development] convention/standard for sorting public keys for p2sh multisig transactions

2015-01-16 Thread Alan Reiner 
I see no reason to restrict compressed/uncompressed.  Strings don't have
to be the same length to sort them lexicographically.  If a multi-sig
participant provides an uncompressed key, they are declaring that the
key that they use and it will only be used uncompressed.   Clients don't
have to go looking for all combinations of compressed & uncompressed.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] convention/standard for sorting public keys for p2sh multisig transactions

2015-01-16 Thread Thomas Kerin 

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

It would - it assumes you have the set of keys and are sorting before
you derive and send funds to such a P2SH address.

It seems there is scope for further narrowing down how a multisig
scripthash address should be determined - what do people think of
anticipating only compressed keys for scripts?

It's possible to cause confusion if one put forward a compressed key at
some time, and an uncompressed key at another. A different script hash
would be produced even though there is no difference to the keys
involved. The client will not search for this.


Having spoken with Jean-Pierre and Ruben about this for quite some time
now, there is 100% the need for a BIP outlining this. Everyone has had
the idea at some point, and some of us already using it, but people
shouldn't have to go digging in BIP45 for the two lines which mention
it. All we need is a place to put the docs.

I am building up a list of implementations which currently support
sorting, and briefly describing a motivation for such a BIP.

Since we only need the sorting for creating the scriptPubKey,
wouldn't it make the most sense to sort it by the way it represented in
that context?

a Y component.  Its serialization is described very succintly here:

I thought pubkeys were represented as raw integers (i.e., they're embedded in 
Script as a push operation whose payload is the raw bytes of the big-endian 
representation of the integer). As far as I know, DER encoding is only used for 
signatures. Am I mistaken?

Re: [Bitcoin-development] convention/standard for sorting public keys for p2sh multisig transactions

2015-01-14 Thread Eric Lombrozo 
I would highly recommend NOT using Base58 for anything except stuff that is
to be copy/pasted by the enduser.

Internally, pubkeys are DER-encoded integers.

Sounds like this warrants a micro-BIP just to get everybody on the same
page.

Could you give an example of two pubkeys where the following condition
is met?

raw(pubkey1) > raw(pubkey2) and base58(pubkey1) < base58(pubkey2)

To clarify: the raw bytes of the public key itself, not the ascii base58 
representation of the pubkey hash - right?

At CryptoCorp we recommend to our customers that they sort
lexicographically by the public key bytes of the leaf public keys.  i.e.
the same as BitPay.
