Bitcoin : “Pay To Identity” — a proposed use of OP_CHECKDATASIG
I’ve written up a new gist here describing a use case for OP_CHECKDATASIG.
[https://gist.github.com/markblundeberg/bd28871548108fc66d958018b1bde085](https://gist.github.com/markblundeberg/bd28871548108fc66d958018b1bde085)
The idea is that you could make a BCH transaction pays to someone by name (or other identifier), rather than paying to a specific cryptographic key that they own. They don’t even need to have a BCH wallet yet. The funds are not held in any custodial account.
Thanks to u/jtoomim for sparking off this idea and a generous donation.
