The stealth address stuff is the ECDH to create multiple payment addresses without querying the payee. Uh while I'm responding again, what I'd discussed with Peter Todd in IRC used two EC points in the stealth address. One for the payment and one for the ECDH. The reason to use two is that it makes delegating detection possible and so you don't have to have you spending keys online to even detect these payments. Why'd that get dropped? I don't think this is a good idea if you have to constantly keep your spending key(s) online even to detect payments, even with the limited use-cases envisioned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
