I want to register my son's birth on blockchain

Can anyone tell how it is possible to do? Thank you

You can use an OP_RETURN transaction and embed up to 40 or so bytes of content that will be forever secured by the blockchain. The OP_RETURN output script should have a small value as the coins will be destroyed.

40 bytes is plenty for a date and a name.

I doubt this is a project development , am i right ?

You can use BTCChina's Forever service, it'll cost you a bit of money but it's worth checking out

I've recently read about http://cryptograffiti.info . I've never tried it but it should work to put some text to the blockchain.

You can go to blockchain.info and send a comment together with the transaction, then it will appear forever next to the address you send it to!
You will need 0.0001 BTC to be sent + fee of course.

No offense OP but I am just wondering why do people do this, I have seen a couple of threads where some people mentioned that they registered their marriage on blockchain and just trying to figure out what's this about?

Probably is, but why would you do that?

They can probably use this as proof at a later point or just tell "hey! my son's birth date is on blockchain".

Why a small value? Why not zero value? It seems like a waste of bitcoins to put any bitcoin value on the OP_RETURN output.

This is NOT correct. Any comment you add with this method is stored ONLY in the database of the company that calls itself blockchain.info. It will not show up in any other block explorer, and it will not be stored in the bitcoin blockchain.

Thank you! But I think it is still early for this staff. Maybe we can set up a real website for such tecord procedures

Bitmain has such a service: https://forum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/1714

I think this is what you are looking for? Best of luck, and congratulations on the new addition to your family

Alternatively, you can use Coinb.in.
Please note that change, if any, will be used as transaction fee. So double-check before you push/broadcast the transaction.

Is the OP this guy?
