Change GitHub link to link directly to the version of the file as of the time of the original post, so that the line number is not outdated.

Jul 2, 2015 at 11:37 comment added Pieter Wuille That's correct. It was an arbitrary choice for a number at the time, because we needed a byte to convey public key recovery information. I'll try to write a full answer later.

Jul 1, 2015 at 19:55 comment added Wizard Of Ozzie @DavidGrayson Link fixed. Perhaps Peter Wuille can comment, as I believe I've read that 27 was chosen arbitrarily because it was "halfway" between used version byte choices, though I can't find that source for the life of me

Jul 1, 2015 at 16:41 comment added David Grayson Your link to github is broken; I would fix it but apparently I need to change at least 6 characters for it to be a valid edit.
Jul 1, 2015 at 15:04 comment added morsecoder Seems to be some sort of a version byte, similar to the version byte used in encoding addresses. Not sure of the significance of 27/28.
