@s{quotedtext} @s{quotedtext} Right now?  What if we did that and it turned out the second public/private algo was broken first? ECDSA is a NIST standard that has been very well studied and has no known vulnerabilities.  There are much, much, much higher items on the development TODO list, like figuring out a nice GUI for multi-device transaction authorization.

I did write up plans for migrating to a new algorithm here:
