This is a small side project that I worked on over the weekend. This will allow you to embed a love message for your significant other on Valentine's day into the blockchain.

http://www.thenoteblock.com/

The project was inspired by the upcoming v0.9 release which makes OP_RETURN (allows you to create immediately prunable output to attach message bytes) a standard transaction output in Bitcoin. And when does get released we will move to use OP_RETURN instead of creating messaging outputs.

Bitcoin as a programmable currency protocol has enormous potentials beyond just sending transactions. And OP_RETURN (when it does become standard) has important implications for smart contracts, using Bitcoin transactions to prove / transfer ownership. The objective of this project is to raise awareness in that area. And make developers realize the potential in a fun way on Valentine's Day.

This is neat!

I thought someone would eventually do this.

Do you know how to send out OP_RETURN tx's? I have been looking into these, and while I can construct them, I can't find a way to send them to the network.
