Another questions for the peercoin core devs

Was wondering if it could be possible to mint stakes belonging to a multisig address.

It looks like that in the future most funds will be kept in multisig addresses for security reasons. How should we mint these funds?

I’m thinking about OT voting pools for example.

May be some special minting only key could be generated for such addresses and coinstake tx could only send coins back to original multisig address.

What do you think [member=79]Sunny King[/member] and [member=30141]sigmike[/member]?

Also, regarding multisig address, is it true that peercoin has them beginning with number 1 just as btc (and ltc), which might be very confusing and it’s too late to change that?

It looks like script addresses start with ‘p’: https://wiki.peercointalk.org/index.php?title=Constants_in_peercoin_code#SCRIPT_ADDRESS

Not in the current implementation but it’s probably feasible. Note that the minting client must have the signature from all the required keys, so an automated signature communication process with key holders must be in place if all the keys are not in the same client (which would defeat multisig purpose).

To enable it at protocol level we must allow block signature from multisig here: https://github.com/ppcoin/ppcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2176-L2199

I guess it could be solved with that new standard script “cold minting with multisig spending”. The minting private key would be unique.
