. The basic idea - allowing more-complex scripts to control the conditions under which coins are released - is good. However, I prefer the versions that keep the address format the same, or at least very similar. Allowing complicated addresses puts burden on Bitcoin-handling web sites and breaks compatibility in ways that it doesn't need to be broken.
