One of bitcoin's most prolific developers is attempting to help with one of the payment network's longest-running issues.

To date, ideas to get around the direct use of public and private keys – long strings of characters that control bitcoin accounts – look like they're some years away. One fuzzy idea, for example, is to somehow bury them completely so that users don't even realize they're using bitcoin.
For now, though, cryptocurrencies are stuck with confusing addresses.
