For a few weeks, I have been working on a new protocol on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. It is similar to Colored Coins, but instead of defining a new fungible asset on top of bitcoin, it defines a non-fungible asset in the form of a set of points in space.
I have written a
whitepaper that describes this protocol, along with a
proof-of-concept implementation in PHP. I have also used this implementation to compute the cadastral map of the
Great Pizza Transaction and rendered it as an
animated GIF.
Right now, I'm in the process of writing a daemon that keeps track of the cadastral maps of a set of spaces in real-time, including backtracking in case of forks and fast trustless sharing of new spaces. But the hard part is defining a
different protocol to allow for the specification of
space contents: the idea is that the owner of a piece of space can sign a message to specify its contents and broadcast it to a peer-to-peer network.
I'm a bit stuck on this problem of space contents, so I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in discussing it with me.
