Hello Everyone,

I know there have been lot of controversial and heated discussions involving Samourai in past. Ignoring everything including the tweets in which Samourai team mentioned no interest in proposing a BIP related to automated and secure communication used in Soroban, I wanted to know if enough people would be interested in a BIP because it may help other bitcoin projects in future.

Ben also tweeted that a BIP would make sense: https://twitter.com/benthecarman/status/1334977096079306753 <https://twitter.com/benthecarman/status/1334977096079306753?s=19>

I think we should keep all the controversial things aside and do everything that helps Bitcoin. It's mentioned in the medium article that it can help other projects like joinmarket, coinswap, snickr etc.

The source code for a client library in Java is available here https://code.samourai.io/wallet/soroban-client-java and the source code for the Go based server component is available here https://code.samourai.io/wallet/samourai-soroban

Let me know if a BIP for such implementation to be used by other bitcoin projects makes sense and if anyone willing to help me in creating a BIP.

Thanks.
