Title: Example transaction used OP_RETURN to store text message
Post by: leonzh on September 19, 2017, 09:05:52 AM
Hello,

Can anybody provide me an example bitcoin transaction hash
that used OP_RETURN to store a text message?

I think the text message can be review on blockchain.info


Thanks,

Here you go: https://blockchain.info/tx/d276abe15791941649c3ca8425d79167cc1cf801f83aa99753fe7f42740c0f23?show_adv=true
Look at the (decoded) part in the output script.
Another one: https://blockchain.info/tx/728e24b2e7dd137e574c433a8db08ac2aa0bf0588ad7716e4c5a7da45dbb5933?show_adv=true

I know that they aren't really impressive, but it is text.

I found this cool site for you: http://coinsecrets.org/

Why not to use brand new blockchain for things like this? It's just a trash from bitcoin's point of view.

The point of these texts is that they are stored forever. Bitcoin blockchain is probably the most likely to survive a long time and is the most secure blockchain (due to high amount of hashpower over the years). If you want any blockchain for these things then Bitcoin blockchain is the way to go.

Look at BIP 175 as an alternative to storing data in OP_RETURN.  Its shows how you can just validate data instead.
