Proposal

The system could have a new transaction type for transactions that just want to register a payload (like a hash) on the blockchain.

Currently this is achieved using type NORMAL, amount = 0 and filling the recipient with some address.

The proposal to use something like type: PAYLOAD and the recipient can be empty in this case.

Using the proposed approach (new type):

  • Easier to use (for the user)
  • Decreases the size of the transaction (no recipient)
  • Defines a clear intention of the user and then the engine can issue correct checking and error messages
