I was thinking about transaction processing, eg visa/blockchain. And here storing and sending almost full packet for signature instead of 32 bytes matters. For sessions this shouldn't matter

Oh good point. Thanks. I don’t think about cryptocurrency at all. But yes the sigs are now 4.6k. Thats a huge block. Yeah that sure throws a wrench into blockchain. But the alternative is that blockchains based on ecdsa go away. Seems like a win to me. But I despise cryptocurrency.
