Remember the incident where some people were running bitcoind on linode and a linode employee stole private keys?

Yeah, that can happen with your web server private keys too. That's why the ability to have the signing key for address validation on an offline computer is so important.

Anyway I think I'm done, I've put my idea out there. Make of it what you want, I don't write BIPs because there is too much politics involved, so if someone who does write BIPs and sees the value in this, have at it.

I hereby reserve the right to sometimes be wrong
