What? There are many flaws in bitcoin and Gavin is doing a great job of addressing them. I personally hope BIP 17 or a standard solution is decided on, but I would never hope that bitcoin remains unchanged. Bitcoin can become so much better than it is now.

yeah, allowing your wallet to be stolen is not broken. having to remember/transfer super long addresses is not broken

please read the actual proposal. it will tell you the reasons for implementing it. i have been using bitcoin for some time, i have never got my wallet stolen. you people are crying about some collective delusion you are having.

>this problem never occurred to me, therefore it doesn't exist at all can you please explain it to me, so even my small unintelligent mind can understand it? I think it's pretty simple: Many people *have* had their bitcoins stolen, and this is a problem that we need to address before we can expect widespread bitcoin adoption. Multikey is a very important feature, that will allow better services to emerge, which will drive further bitcoin adoption. Gavin is doing a great job, and you should show him some respect.

OP_CHECKMULTISIG, please explain the reason to change the protocol in a non compatible way people should protect their bitcoin better, it is not a good reason for protocol change. Gavin is doing a great job, and you should show him some respect.
i do, when he is not acting like a child. P2SH is childish.

Tell me how we can do m-of-n signatures, or escrow without trusting a third party (or with a third party only in case of dispute). Those "fancy features" are, in my humble opinion, the killer features that will guarantee bitcoin's success. It requires the consensus of the network, however.

I couldn't agree more. Bitcoin without these features is still pretty "killer"…but these features are really going to set it apart from everything else.

Ok, I misread PIP 11 the first time. Then why they're pushing PIP 16/17 so hard? While I think it will be needed, I don't think it's a priority. The first thing we need is GUI support for what we already have.

OP_CHECKMULTISIG, already exists, what more do you need? There are already a couple threads discussing this. Have you read them? sure but they are bullshit. the point in them is: sender don't have to pay, the receiver do. and mining pool, can put different fees on different transactions. this is not a reason to break stuff

After much thought I came to realize what's the main purpose of PIP 16/17 while we already have PIP 11: The reason is secure wallets that are always multisig without superlong addresses. We'll also have space savings in the chain.
We need PIP 16/17 but what's urgent is PIP 11 in client GUIs.

No we don't. BIP 11 is dead on arrival. The receiver gets all the benefit and the senders pays for it. WTF? You ask me to pay you with some super long address and I will say NOPE. You try to cashout from Mt. Gox to some super long address and they will say NOPE. You open an online store and try to get customers to pay to some super logn address and they will say NOPE. BIP 16/17 is what makes BIP 11 USEFUL in the real world.

ever heard of send to self? Which provides no security. Any trojan or wallet stealer would simply intercept the funds sent to "insecure" addresses. If the addresses are secure well you didn't need multi-sig anyways. Plus multi-sig usefulness goes way beyond just secure wallets. However w/ BIP 11 the entity "paying the cost" isn't the entity getting the benefit. It is non-viable from an economics standpoint and likely to significantly increase rate of blockchain bloat if it is.
