RE: Why does steem use this canonical thing instead of strict secp256k1?

We should loosen the restriction in a HF. Because valid FC signatures are a subset of BIP-0062, after the hardfork we can clean up signature verification code and use BIP-0062 for historical verification.
Nothing but gratitude for your making this connection for me.
I was having a really hard time in my life when I made this post, and since around Fall of 2017, I just figured I was dead wrong about the whole thing.
Turns out that I was very, very rude/nasty.......
But correct.
Things have gotten better for me and I actively strive to be both polite and correct. Hopeful.
