I think we'll want a bitcoin address in there for a long time for backwards compatibility. If web browser support for arbitrary MIME types is strong enough (I haven't tested), then a payment request can be initiated with just an anchor tag: <a href="https://merchant.com/pay.php?3D2a8628fc2fbe"; type="application/bitcoin-paymentrequest"> Doing it that way saves a http round-trip. -- -- Gavin Andresen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
