+Hi folks,
+
+I've been working on a new private key export format that includes
+simple password-protection. Details of the scheme are posted at:
+
+https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36195.0
+
+It is intended as an interchange format, not specifically integrated
+with wallet encryption, and simple enough to be produced by the
+vanitygen program. Importing to the official bitcoin client using a
+method like the import/export patch would require the user to provide
+the password of the private key, in addition to the wallet password if
+the wallet is encrypted.
+
+Comments on the format are welcomed!
+
+As the proposed format is base-58, I would like to make a request to use
+one of the data classes as proposed by Pieter Wuille about a month ago:
+
+http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20110708092506.GA6641%40ulyssis.org&forum_name=bitcoin-development
+
+If this doesn't fit with the general bitcoin development agenda, that's
+OK too, but I would like to explore some possibility for a protected
+export format for private keys.
+
+Thanks,
+-Sam Revitch
