ByteCoin: cool!  Are you finding alternative public keys for a given ECC private key?  (are there multiple public keys for a given private ECC key???  I know very little about elliptic curve cryptography)

And to all:  I couldn't resist, I updated the patch so it can search for a regular expression and so it starts a separate thread and doesn't monopolize the RPC thread.  My machine is busy looking for a bitcoin address that matches '^1Gavin' right now.
