There's some good discussion about that here:

thanke came up with this first, and then I reinvented it, and now you
have. But the thread has some good discussion about how to move
forward. I'm a big fan of putting the lower-ca
Payment Protocol uses x509 certs to sign a Payment Request. This
allows wallets to display meta-data from the cert to the payer instead
of the address, which should make it easier to verify where money is
being sent, and make it harder for an attacker to change the address
displayed to a user so th
I hacked together a new min fee/prio calculator and memory-limited
mempool a while back and figured Id post the code here to get some
comments. Its more of a discussion-starter than a strict proposal and
has a few obvious holes (hence posting here instead of pull-requesting).
It works as such (no

Consensus in #bitcoin-dev chat is that it is time to do a 0.8.2 release. A
few important bugs have been fixed, and the goal will be to get a 0.8.2
final release before the May 15'th hard fork deadline.

Maybe I'm missing something crucial, but what benefit does this dance give over
the slightly more obvious mechanism of simply:
1) Alice generates a new address with her bitcoin client and sends the BTC to
this new address
2) Alice exports the private key for that address (there is a well support

Those all sound like bugs in the BIP; I think they sho
So there's a slight world divide in digital payments with bitcoin using
ECDSA and GPG, payswarm / webid etc using largely RSA
Here's how to bring the two worlds together and enable bitcoins be sent
over webid or payswarm
Problem: Alice and Bob have RSA key pairs, but no public bitcoin
addresses.
I had another amendment, which roughly (can't remember the details) has
to do with case-sensitivity of the scheme part and parameter names. If I
remember right, BITCOIN:1d4...?AMOUNT=0.1 would be a correct URI but not
valid in the sense of BIP21 currently.

The bad news is that for security reasons there is a whitelist of
