The main issue that has arisen is discussion of the FTC implementation of multi-signature technology. When FTC was started it was important to differentiate the Addresses, especially between between the larger coins where central services could be confused.

It would appear that , due to the ad-hoc, or Bitcoin centric, way this technology has developed, it is not possible to differentiate a Bitcoin Multisignature address from a Litecoin Address. This has resulted in a proposal that Litecoin develop a system where other start character to the Multisignature addresses would be recognised as Litecoin. Similar to the system FTC and PXC's Ghostlander developed to allow more than one genesis address, if there is a clash with Litecoin's on some central services.

It would obviously be a good idea to think ahead and have a FTC specific start value to the multi-signature address and perhaps ask some stupid questions, why can't it start with FTC? e.t.c.

Initially I am researching the history and technical background of multi-signature technology. As this seems quite bleeding edge and fragmented.

Enter Multisig

So what is Bitcoin 1.0, and what is this Bitcoin 1.5 that I am so boldly claiming will come to replace it? In short, Bitcoin 1.0 can be described as a simple send-receive system. In a Bitcoin account, there is a set of 34-character Bitcoin addresses, like 1JwSSubhmg6iPtRjtyqhUYYH7bZg3Lfy1T, that you can use to receive bitcoins, and each address has an associated 64-character private key, in this case c4bbcb1fbec99d65bf59d85c8cb62ee2db963f0fe106f483d9afa73bd4e39a8a, that can be used to spend bitcoins that are sent to the address. Private keys need to be kept safe and only accessed when you want to sign a transaction, and Bitcoin addresses can be freely handed out to the world. And thatâ€™s how Bitcoin wallets are secured. If you can keep the single private key safe, everythingâ€™s fine; if you lose it the funds are gone, and if someone else gains access to it your funds are gone too â€“ essentially, the exact same security model that we have with physical cash, except a thousand times more slippery.

Copay Team Broadcasts First BIP32 P2SH Multisig Transaction from Tucuman, Argentina

Itâ€™s really hard to properly secure bitcoins. Itâ€™s so hard that even the most technically adept bitcoiners sometimes get hacked and lose their bitcoins. As bitcoin grows up to become an adult financial system, it is absolutely imperative that we end this security nightmare as quickly as possible. That is what multisignature transactions promise to do.

The basic security problem with bitcoin is that your private keys give access to your bitcoins. If you slip up just once and reveal your private keys, which is really easy to do (especially if youâ€™re not trained in the art of computer security), your bitcoins can be stolen. Many individuals and companies have lost some or all of their bitcoins this way.

Multisignature transactions offer a solution to this problem by allowing for more than one private key to control an address. In a 2-of-2 multisignature transaction, a private key from your laptop is used to sign a transaction, and a private key from your phone must also be used to sign the same transaction. If you slip up and reveal the private keys on your laptop, your bitcoins are still safe because the private keys on your phone havenâ€™t been compromised.

BitPay Releases Beta for Open-Source, Multi-Signature Bitcoin Wallet

http://www.coindesk.com/bitpay-open-source-multi-signature-bitcoin-wallet/

Bitcoin payments processor BitPay has released the beta version of an open-source, multi-signature wallet service called Copay.

Copay aims to provide a solution to a central security issue posed by the use of a private key â€“ that bitcoins can become compromised and stolen if someone fraudulently gains access to it. The issue has brought a lot of attention to multisig technology, with several notable companies in the ecosystem developing and releasing multisig wallets in recent months.

BitPay chief executive and co-founder Stephen Pair told CoinDesk that the company expects multisig transactions to become the norm for routine, day-to-day usage, saying:

â€œAlmost three years ago the ground work for multisig transactions was prepared with extensive design work by the core developers. The concerns back then, as now, was making bitcoin more secure against theft.â€
