This is a discussions-to thread (as per EIP-1) for: EIP-2098 Compact Signature Representation.

This topic section may be updated occasionally to reflect additional information which becomes relevant to interested parties.

Ah, since this references the constraints of Homestead, should have added requires: 2 to the header.

Is there any interest in moving this EIP to Final? We would include an implementation in OpenZeppelin but are concerned about breaking changes. Not sure if it would even be possible to introduce any breaking changes in this format though...

[ricmoo]

Yes, I was chatting last night with someone about moving it forward. I will add the requires, do one more round of reading it over and change its status to review. :)

If you do pick this back up, I recommend renaming v to yParity which is the nomenclature we have been using in new signatures like EIP-1559, EIP-2930, EIP-2711, etc.

[ricmoo]

Cool, I’ll make that change too then.

What do you think would make the most sense for a name for the composite? Right now I use vs, but yParityS?

[MicahZoltu]

I'm a huge fan of verbose names so in any code I write it would likely be called yParityAndS or something. I know not everyone agrees with my desires for verbosity though.

I've updated the status to Review. I believe it requires an editor to approve the change. Do I need to ping someone directly, or will it be picked up on the next sweep?

[MicahZoltu]

An editor should see the change automatically, no need to do anything other than submit the PR that changes the status.

Isn't this EIP already finalized? https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2098

[ricmoo]

Yes it is finalized. I guess this issue should be closed?
