Subject: Re: [Bitcoin-development] BIP 20 Rejected, process for BIP 21N
Date: Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:03:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120204140325.16110@gmx.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1328034145.2832.11.camel@BMThinkPad.lan.bluematt.me>

Just another question concerning BIP21:

On the wiki, the description of the "message" parameter reads:
"message that shown to the user after scanning the QR code"

I believe that the purpose of this parameter is to contain a description of the  transaction. This has use cases that go beyond QR codes.

If I am right, then I would say that naming it "message" is misleading. In fact, "message" suggests that a message will be sent to someone (the recipient of the funds? a third party?), which is not the case here. That parameter should probably be called "description".
