could the size of a valid pubkey be some value other than 33 or 65?

jl2012: no

Hey folks, I read over the mimblewimble paper and I'm really super impressed with the algorithm
< cjd>
The only things which annoy me about it are that (as I understand) the signatures pile up forever and of course its very not post-quantum
< cjd>
But to fix the transactions building up, a possible solution might be to associate the signature with an output and require that the value of the signature is subtractet when that output is spent
< cjd>
normally that would mean the recipient must store information or else lose access to the money but the information could be encrypted and added to the transaction and bcast so that if he loses his wallet he can still spend it from the seed
< cjd>
Also it feels like an attacker can generate a valid transaction which plows your money into the ground unless outputs are required to sign themselves

cjd: probably more appropriate discussion for #bitcoin-wizards

So I'm running on #6e6ab2c and I can't get the pull-tester to pass.

I thought it was a bug in my patches but it seems that it's just in master.
