Hey all,

Sorry to keep bugging you all, as I slowly verify the blockchain one =
transaction after another with my own implementation, but I have found =
another transaction that is obviously correct (as it is verified by the =
legit client) that has me seeking clarification.

This multisig output script:

https://blockchain.info/tx-index/12809044/0  (txid: =
274f8be3b7b9b1a220285f5f71f61e2691dd04df9d69bb02a8b3b85f91fb1857)

contains a public key:

00f2b7816db49d55d24df7bdffdbc1e203b424e8cd39f5651ab938e5e4a193569e

Are invalid public keys permitted and silently ignored? Or does the 0x00 =
prefix have some interesting meaning?

Thanks again,

RicMoo
