Change date format to ISO 8601

laanwj · laanwj · commit 1647c7e6d3e3 · 2014-04-05T13:46:56.000+02:00
This came up on the mailing list.

yyyy-mm-dd (ISO 8601) is the internationally accepted format for numeric
dates. This commit changes all BIPs to use that instead of dd-mm-yyyy.
It also updates BIP 0001 to prescribe the new format.

 A multi-signature transaction is one where a certain number of Bitcoins are "encumbered" with more than one recipient address.  The subsequent transaction that spends these coins will require each party involved (or some subset, depending on the script), to see the proposed transaction and sign it with their private key.  This necessarily requires collaboration between all parties -- to propose a distribution of encumbered funds, collect signatures from all necessary participants, and then broadcast the completed transaction.
