Title: have any bitcoin clients made it easy to attach a message with a transaction?
Post by: kodtycoon on January 08, 2015, 03:39:11 AM
other than blockchain.info?

its fine if the attached message is public on the blockchain.

i just need to be able to send a transaction of any amount and attach a message like {1 <a crypto coin address>} and be able to read it using an api call. is that possible? needs to be not rocket science to send the message too.

No, and you are never going to be able to sorry.

Can you imagine the messages people would leave in the blockchain?

I put messages into the blockchain all the time. The secret is just in converting your message's bytes into a series of public addresses, and sending them in an ordered format.  For example, below is the Bill of Rights saved forever in the blockchain in Bitcoin format.

Message me if you are interested, and I will send you the current version of the Bit-Comm Protocol, used for putting messages into transactions.

thanks for your reply.

it needs be very simply to do as users are going to need to send a message with an address in it - its to do with a project. bit-comm protocol sounds like it would be way too complicated for end users to do easily. i think we have found an alternative method anyway

That could cause unforeseen issues, we're already lacking understanding as it is in certain aspects of the blockchain.
