Let CfB and especially Jean-Luc think about it.

I already did. There seems to be no progress whatsoever.

I haven't seen Jean-Luc denying importance of this issue. Most likely fixing it seems hard for him now. And he has too many urgent issues to fix.
We should help him to figure out the right and easy way to implement solution. Once he says - "It'll take me two days to implement", nobody will oppose.

First time poster, long time lurker here. I have a possible solution to the CRC problem. See if you can shoot this down.

1) At block 40000, all new accounts should include 64 bit address + 32 bit CRC. The CRC can be hidden to keep the addresses looking short and clean, and the CRC value would be recorded in the blockchain and read by clients for verification.
2) Starting at block 40000, accounts will have a CRC value calculated for them IFF 1 or more NXT has been transmitted from that address to the genesis account.
Basically if you register your account with the genesis account, you receive CRC protection.

Many accounts have already registered aliases, so they get free CRC protection. If the genesis account doesn't hear from an address, it is assumed to be darkNXT.
BTW, it would be even better if the account holder could send a specific 'alias'. let's call it called ADDCRC. If ADDCRC is sent to the genesis account, the genesis account bounces back the NXT to the account holder to make him whole again.
