Okay, first of all, let's examine what we have so far: Redstone wire, redstone torch, redstone diode/repeater, inputs and to some extent, pistons. Now let's look at the blocks transmitters power; (NOT inputs): redstone torch - powers upwards, redstone repeater - powers straight ahead, redstone wire - powers downwards.
You now realise redstone wire doesn't accept power from redstone wire above it or if the wire is cut off on the corner; this is because redstone wire only accepts STRONG power but only gives out WEAK power. In order for wire to connect to other wire, you MUST have is visibly connect to another wire.
So, what do we lack? For one, powering downwards - this is extremely hard to do compactly, with repeaters it takes up a bit a room compared to transmitting upwards; and with torches, sending up pulses make that very unreliable, bulky and ugly at times. My suggestion? The redstone inverter.
The suggestion - (finally, after a lecture)
A redstone repeater powers the block ahead and receives from behind, but, the inverter powers the block it is on AND can receive from above. This means, you can stack a bunch of inverters above another, to form a downwards circuit. If you wanted to power the block in front, you simply do this: Inverter Block + Redstone
However, if the pure reason of this suggestion was to solve that minor problem, it wouldn't be worth suggesting. The inverter has many other uses - for one, it can be used in a similar fashion to a repeater - after 15 blocks, it can rejuvenate the power. Also, as I explained, transmitting power vertically downwards is much easier.
Also, it could function as a timer, similar to the repeater, the inverter is always on until powered, which then it turns off - just like the repeater you can adjust the delay accordingly to control when the inverter turns off; if you string inverters together, even numbers would equal repeater and odd, inverter.
We just need vertical wires, to be honest. I don't think we need a block with a weird set of rules to do this. Keep it simple and straightforward - redstone is already difficult enough for most people to understand.
We already have torches to act as inverters, so we don't need a second inversion device :dry.gif:.

Wires on walls, would just complicate everything, there would be floating blocks everywhere and the problem is, redstone would just become complicated once you introduce torches as redstone travelling vertically wouldn't accept power properly. Redstone is a dust and automatically sticks to the ground, once you put it on walls, you will have floating bits of dust in the air.
I don't think it's too hard to follow - in through the top, out through the bottom, inverts the circuit.

You put a good amount of thought and effort into the suggestion, but in my opinion not really needed at all.
You can make a 1*H*2 sized thing to make power move down which is only 1 more block wide than this is.
As I said, redstone torches burn out too easy and redstone repeaters make the column too bulky.
once you put it on walls, you will have floating bits of dust in the air.
Not if you craft it into wires.

Hypothetical: You read a thread in the Suggestions forum. You suddenly realize you've seen the idea before. Maybe it's a duplicate? No. Maybe it's just you? No. Maybe it's been done already? Very likely: Click here if there's a mod for that.

A torch already powers redstone below it:
Not really sure I see the issue.

So make it stick to the side of the block, just as paintings already do. I don't see a problem.

In my opinion, redstone on walls isn't what I want, it just doesn't fit into what redstone is.
And AGAIN, redstone torches are unreliable when adding a clock to it.
Redstone is magic. EVERYTHING fits.

Which is what exactly? It's already defying the laws of physics of real life. When's the last time you put red stuff on a stick and created a torch that magically inverts the current of a line of dust, which itself conducts current?
It makes . . . Minecraft sense :wink.gif:.

Inverter - diode, timer, inverter, transmitter!
Comments would be appreciated.
