Well i will be actively trying to help you all get to the bottom of this. I really do remember bytemaster (aka dan larimer) saying graphene using deterministic signature scheme...but that was awhile ago and was before Steem existed. So i might be completely wrong.
Im just thankful that it wasnt something worse than this. I was a bit concerned what this could mean...
Thank you fuzzy. My total assessment is that I don't know. Thing is I or anyone should be able to know. Hell, you should be able to know, even as you say as a "code-idiot".
