Privacy
Bitcoin TCP/IP
Addresses Pseudonymous but transaction chain analysis
IP geolocation, traceable to
individual via ISP
Payloads Naked in public Private but seen by ISPs, switches

Payment model
Coin Sciences Ltd Metadata in the Blockchain http://coinspark.org/
Bitcoin TCP/IP
Per message, with message
Subscription or pay-per-use, separate
![Page 24: Bitcoin 2.0 and OP_RETURN - The Blockchain as TCP/IP?](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052218/55874105d8b42ac35d8b4574/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
So bitcoin is suitable for…
• Tiny payload • High value
– Hashes in general
• Public broadcast • Permanently recorded • Non-instant • Pay-as-you-go

CoinSpark
• Rich OP_RETURN protocol – Multiple metadata per OP_RETURN
• Version 1.0 — September 2014 – Assets = lightweight scalable colored coins – Payment references
• Version 2.0 — February 2015 – Transaction attachments / messaging
• Version 3.0: simpler addressing, …

CoinSpark assets
• Assets via OP_RETURN metadata – Not connected to bitcoin quantity
• Genesis metadata: – Quantity, issuer transaction fees – Compressed web page URL – Hash of contract and key params
• Transfer metadata: – Reference to genesis, quantity, outputs

CoinSpark assets for users
• Lightweight wallet • Asset web page
– View in browser – Hidden metadata – Domain authenticates issuer
• Asset contract – Ready US + UK templates – Customizable

CoinSpark asset model
• Multiple assets per output – Low burden on network – No accidental loss
• Default: all assets to last output • Metadata sends to other outputs
– 40 bytes: up to 3 assets, unlimited outputs
• Asset independence ⇒ scalability – Issuer provides tracking server for SPV

CoinSpark messages
• Attach text and/or files to a bitcoin or CoinSpark asset transaction
• Message discovery via OP_RETURN – Compressed URL / IP of delivery server – Outputs for which message intended – Hash of message + salt
• Open source delivery server – Federated, non-centralized model

![Page 44: Bitcoin 2.0 and OP_RETURN - The Blockchain as TCP/IP?](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052218/55874105d8b42ac35d8b4574/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
CoinSpark messages vs email
• Hash proves message authenticity • Notarization of message on blockchain
– Contracts, invoices, digital delivery
• Also: public messages – Broadcast content + proof of existence
• Future: message encryption – Requires public key, not just bitcoin address
• Challenge: identity (Openname?)

• 38 valid characters – 0 to 9, a to z, -‐ .
• Two terminator characters ⇒ 40 – http:// vs https://
• 403 = 64000 < 65536 = 216 – So 3 characters per byte pair
• Special case: IPv4 address – Obvious encoding in 4 bytes

What happens then?
• Transactions compete for confirmation – Bidding via miner fee, paid only in bitcoin
• Real price discovery – Econ 101: until supply = demand
• If enough transactions (notarization?) are worth $10 to sender, all will cost that – No more cups of coffee!
• Increase to 20MB blocks just delays this

So: bitcoin = global bidding power for embedding data in
the blockchain.
