126 - Best Practices for Heterogeneous Input Script Transactions

BIP: 126 source Title: Best Practices for Heterogeneous Input Script Transactions Author: Kristov Atlas Comments-Summary: No comments yet. Comments-URI: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/wiki/Comments:BIP-0126 Status: Draft Type: Informational Created: 2016-02-10 License: PD Table of ContentsAbstractCopyrightDefinitionsMotivationsInteraction with Other ProceduresStandard form heterogeneous input script transactionRulesRationaleAlternate form heterogeneous input script transactionsProcedureRulesNon-compliant heterogeneous input script transactionsReference Abstract When a Bitcoin transaction contains inputs that reference previous transaction outputs sent to different Bitcoin addresses, personally identifiable information of the user will leak into the blockchain in an uncontrolled manner. While undesirable, these transactions are frequently unavoidable due to the natural fragmentation of wallet balances over time. This document proposes a set of best practice guidelines ...

69 - Lexicographical Indexing of Transaction Inputs and Outputs

BIP: 69 source Layer: Applications Title: Lexicographical Indexing of Transaction Inputs and Outputs Author: Kristov Atlas Editor: Daniel Cousens Comments-Summary: No comments yet.

As a result, wallet clients often have a discernible blockchain fingerprint, and can leak private information about their users. By contrast, a standard for non-deterministic sorting could be difficult to audit. This document proposes deterministic lexicographical sorting, using hashes of previous transactions and output indices to sort transaction inp...

Consensus LayerSoft ForksHard Forks2. Peer Services Layer3. API/RPC Layer4. Applications LayerClassification of existing BIPs Abstract This document describes a classification scheme for BIPs. BIPs are classified by system layers with lower numbered layers involving more intricate interoperability requirements. The specification defines the layers and sets forth specific criteria for deciding to which layer a particular standards BIP belongs.
