Sure, here's one: Green address provider give a REST-ful API, that provides the following functionality: + Give transaction ID and credentials, request that the transaction be declared "green" (sender's wallet site/software would do this) + Give transaction ID, return boolean "has this transaction been deeclared green?" As I said, I think any design that relies on clients recognizing two variations of a transaction is a very bad idea. -- -- Gavin Andresen
