SIP-005 - a couple of issues

[faried]

The prefix byte for standard and contract post-condition principals does not appear to be documented.

Standard principals:

• 1 byte: 0x02
• 1 byte version
• 20 bytes for the hash160

Contract principals:

• 1 byte: 0x03
• 1 byte version
• 20 bytes for the hash160
• 1 byte for contract name length -- a value between 1 and 128 inclusive
• the contract name

For Transaction Signing and Verifying the spec says

If this is a single-signature spending condition, then set the fee rate and nonce to 0, set the public key encoding byte to Compressed, and set the signature bytes to 0 (note that the address is preserved).

I started to implement my versions of verifyBegin() and verifyOrigin() (as in @stacks/transactions) and noticed that the public key encoding byte is copied for standard single-sig transactions, not set to compressed.

Hey, thanks for letting us know! Will fix.
