Payment codes can be publicly advertised and associated with a real-life identity without causing a loss of financial privacy. Compared to stealth addresses, payment codes require less blockchain data storage. Payment codes require 65 bytes of OP_RETURN data per sender-recipient pair, while stealth addresses require 40 bytes per transaction. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVOqCRAAoJECpf2nDq2eYjluEP/RVJk+miDIihY4ilIvUbKvMd JLLqHr7Q1dlZyMIG/UqVWdoP5hzg/16B+q2iAB9jXozPnrDp0mggBh6rIGroevAa Kqfrs+Rrog1w9auhd67LWORDqav6YIrjTJIxdLxe11IEiq5rWbHPNUEDMzdEmHbz QfTH7KWAP2BasO5ETXcfu6BcccrXZ3XOKLON2h3NGD/cEDizY+uT2k3QN54z+KxG NB9scKbzVvsJwkyBrgbV+As9H3k6PnFsojYgAaE9gkp7D2+ahjzUiOH5rv6TbbYR o2X5MOiTY2/YZEqZPG7IR03ZAgeLVCvXXysjPOfzUKbmTF4w849sm8BuhixzDXHo 2V/HHKoGclIohcODBCWi0tVQXshZt4QkCNJBW5o3nL6Nn2YOp6hmw8YKAHnw3E7h /wIgk5f+NOLl/iIxoAxAdavEj5P6N4ic+OB6MAjnhEilWfBvCIpqWLGNvrtOhEa9 EnPHcgb4ILBu4OionJhsNpJ/O95C0OEypMm25MIS+rQcV4Uxe5IOS2OuT/GreLET n/7Y0mJbqYbLBjVsfS+DNjvsgyJl5AxhcMrdVyXJjSYVcCoRhcoX5Ceidd+YkbHI OMs5f63tM1Rgi/WY4Ct80SD5EbULZuu8j1KJ9HPGuMt081JSBH+L5isiKuazPeO+ SGApMBd4Q89fKzL2djae =Dypr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --047d7b4145d42148e805147dda99 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 <div dir="ltr"> <p style="margin:0px">-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----</p> <p style="margin:0px">Hash: SHA1</p> <p style="margin:0px"><br></p> <p style="margin:0px"><a href="https://github.com/justusranvier/rfc/blob/payment_code/bips/bip-pc01.mediawiki">https://github.com/justusranvier/rfc/blob/payment_code/bips/bip-pc01.mediawiki</a></p> <p style="margin:0px"><br></p> <p style="margin:0px">This link contains an RFC for a new type of Bitcoin address called a "payment code"</p> <p style="margin:0px"><br></p> <p style="margin:0px">Payment codes are SPV-friendly alternatives to DarkWallet-style stealth addresses which provide useful features such as positively identifying senders to recipients and automatically providing for transaction refunds.</p> <p style="margin:0px"><br></p> <p style="margin:0px">Payment codes can be publicly advertised and associated with a real-life identity without causing a loss of financial privacy.</p> <p style="margin:0px"><br></p> <p style="margin:0px">Compared to stealth addresses, payment codes require less blockchain data storage.</p> <p style="margin:0px"><br></p> <p style="margin:0px">Payment codes require 65 bytes of OP_RETURN data per sender-recipient pair, while stealth addresses require 40 bytes per transaction.</p> <p style="margin:0px"><br></p> <p style="margin:0px">-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----</p> <p style="margin:0px">Version: GnuPG v1</p> <p style="margin:0px"><br></p> <p style="margin:0px">iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVOqCRAAoJECpf2nDq2eYjluEP/RVJk+miDIihY4ilIvUbKvMd</p> <p style="margin:0px">JLLqHr7Q1dlZyMIG/UqVWdoP5hzg/16B+q2iAB9jXozPnrDp0mggBh6rIGroevAa</p> <p style="margin:0px">Kqfrs+Rrog1w9auhd67LWORDqav6YIrjTJIxdLxe11IEiq5rWbHPNUEDMzdEmHbz</p> <p style="margin:0px">QfTH7KWAP2BasO5ETXcfu6BcccrXZ3XOKLON2h3NGD/cEDizY+uT2k3QN54z+KxG</p> <p style="margin:0px">NB9scKbzVvsJwkyBrgbV+As9H3k6PnFsojYgAaE9gkp7D2+ahjzUiOH5rv6TbbYR</p> <p style="margin:0px">o2X5MOiTY2/YZEqZPG7IR03ZAgeLVCvXXysjPOfzUKbmTF4w849sm8BuhixzDXHo</p> <p style="margin:0px">2V/HHKoGclIohcODBCWi0tVQXshZt4QkCNJBW5o3nL6Nn2YOp6hmw8YKAHnw3E7h</p> <p style="margin:0px">/wIgk5f+NOLl/iIxoAxAdavEj5P6N4ic+OB6MAjnhEilWfBvCIpqWLGNvrtOhEa9</p> <p style="margin:0px">EnPHcgb4ILBu4OionJhsNpJ/O95C0OEypMm25MIS+rQcV4Uxe5IOS2OuT/GreLET</p> <p style="margin:0px">n/7Y0mJbqYbLBjVsfS+DNjvsgyJl5AxhcMrdVyXJjSYVcCoRhcoX5Ceidd+YkbHI</p> <p style="margin:0px">OMs5f63tM1Rgi/WY4Ct80SD5EbULZuu8j1KJ9HPGuMt081JSBH+L5isiKuazPeO+</p> <p style="margin:0px">SGApMBd4Q89fKzL2djae</p> <p style="margin:0px">=Dypr</p> <p style="margin:0px">-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----</p></div> --047d7b4145d42148e805147dda99--
