“Any alternative”? What about reverting to:
[<public_key>, OP_CHECKSIG]
or perhaps later
[<“compressed” public_key>, OP_CHECKSIG]
This appears to get away from the issue without introducing a lot of other concerns?
(IIRC the RIPEMD thing was justified on convenience and compactness).
Could that be the alternative?
