: Not sure if [https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_Bitcoin_addresses This] is the definitive thing. On the other hand though, is it really necessary to have a task with such a narrow range of application? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 03:39, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
:: The bitcoin wiki is a more accurate source than wikipedia indeed. As far as whether it is "necessary" to have this task in RC: no, it is not. I don't think it would hurt, though. On the over hand, I know there are some political issues with the concept so I won't insist much if whoever is in charge here doesn't accept it, even as a draft.--[[User:Grondilu|Grondilu]] 04:07, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
::: I'm not too worried about the narrowness of the task spec, just that it's possible to work out how to implement it without reading someone else's solution and that it is possible (even if not necessarily ''easy'') to verify the correctness without reference to someone else's code. If these are satisfied and we've got evidence of independent implementations, it's a good draft and can advance to being a full task.
::: Of more interest though is whether there will be other bitcoin-related tasks in the future (specifically, the next 3 months; there's no point trying to plan further ahead than that). If not, the name of this one should change. That's independent of whether this is draft or not. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 09:09, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
