so it is possible to identify weak private keys if they are close to any of the rendezvous points on your eliptic curve.

my questions would be:

Are standard wallets (the addresses generated by the QT client) affected by this?
are there any mitigations that can be used?
will the pub/priv key generation sequence require a new, more secure implementation?

i believe one already has been outlined of moving the coins to a new address/wallet? every few months?  would there be any way in which it is possible to increase the difficulty of the private keys?
