It is important to build an image of stability and backward compatibility. So I vote for the XOR 111 hack :) JS --000e0cd514cce9ebec04a78a795f Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sorry, that last message got broken off.

We could use the XOR hack for now and remove it the next time we rese= t
testnet. But I do think the 111 is baggage we want to get rid of. Using
the lsb as a simple flag is much cleaner.


I agree it is cleaner, but I think breaking compatiblity with older address= (even testnet) is not a good idea right now. It is important to build an i= mage of stability and backward compatibility.

So I vote for the XOR = 111 hack :)
