This BIP allows a merchant to preferentially receive payments to a bech32 address, while gracefully allowing older clients to make base58 encoded payments. ==Specification== === Query Keys === *addr: an alternative bitcoin destination which is preferred over the "bitcoinaddress" field of the url == Appendix == === Simpler syntax === bitcoin:
