Proposal: Consider compressed ECDSA #7

Description

@zamicol

❌ Leaning Nay.
Proposal: https://github.com/Cyphrme/CozeX/blob/master/proposal/compressed_ecdsa.md

Ayes:

  • Smaller Public keys.
  • Good practice for Coze on how to handle keys that are encoded in differing ways.
  • More "modern". More in alignment with Ed25519.

Nays:

  • Not that much smaller.
  • tmb is already small and is a more general/abstracted reference identifier.
  • tmb already works well as a pattern for post-quantum which has much larger keys.
  • Compressed public keys are not implemented universally. Uncompressed seems to be the most compatible.
  • x may be cryptographically significant for key security while tmb is not.
