First off, I want to confirm that when I sen= d to the list, that there isn’t a technical reason it’s not get= ting to everybody.  I believe I most recently mentioned BIP 38 to this= list on August 17, 2013. (EDIT: seems my prior messages, including an earl= ier revision of this message, have not made it to the list)

Secondly, in = the case that it is deemed that this has never been properly submitted, dis= cussed, or pushed forward, I’d like to propose that this happen, and = request help with the formalities where I’m lacking.

 

I believe BIP = 38 is a valuable proposal that is seeing real-world use.  BIP 38 allow= s people to create private keys (including paper wallets) protected by a pa= ssword, and also allows one party to select the password for paper wallets = to be created by another party.

Real-world use includes a working impleme= ntation at BitAddress.org, one at Bit2Factor.org, implementation by Myceliu= m, and others.  Also, others are informally using it as a sort of abbr= eviated escrow scheme where a buyer and seller agree on the buyer maintaini= ng control over the release of funds.  In short, it would be terribly = confusing to reassign the number BIP 38 after already having had an establi= shed meaning for the better part of the year, particularly on what appears = to be procedural grounds.
