Shouldn't the line 128 5 Bitcoin Private key 5Htn3FzuH3b1X5VF2zLTsAQzBcyzkZNJsa2egXN8ZFJTCqQm3Rq be 128 t Bitcoin Private key tHtn3FzuH3b1X5VF2zLTsAQzBcyzkZNJsa2egXN8ZFJTCqQm3Rq according to 127-128 t 34 ? --ThePiachu (talk) 01:59, 27 June 2012 (GMT)

What is the policy regarding addresses which are not altcoins but which relate to protocols being built on top of bitcoin? I think there is value in some kind of registry for such protocols to prevent address clashes, and help users know the purpose of different addresses. But I don't want to overstep if that's not the purpose of this page. --gidgreen 7 July 2014 (GMT)
