Topologically Ordered Bitcoin Database (using a relative timeline, ie. event a before b… this means causality). Similar to Genesis, as it’s a structured database constructed from Bitcoin, which not only contains the transaction graph, but also indexes every single push data to make them easily queryable for any kind of Bitcoin application. If you want to know […]
Bitcom – Bitcoin Computer
Bitcom is an open ended OP_RETURN protocol for creating a universal virtual computer on top of Bitcoin. Bitcom borrows from the UNIX filesystem metaphor to represent a global directory of Bitcoin application protocols, where: Each “account” is represented as a root folder with a Bitcoin address as the name Each “account” is an application protocol […]
Bitcoin Sticker Protocol
Intro The Bitcoin sticker protocol lets you associate non-Bitcoin resources with Bitcoin. You can use the protocol to declare ownership or affiliation of non-Bitcoin resources, objects, services, agents that exist outside of the Bitcoin universe. The best part: You too can trivially implement this for your website or api, TODAY. Attributes For version 0.0.1, we start only with […]
Magic Attribute Protocol
A system for mapping arbitrary hyper media to a global identifier. Prefix: 1PuQa7K62MiKCtssSLKy1kh56WWU7MtUR5 Authors: Satchmo, Attila Aros Thanks to Unwriter for his input and support. Intro The design goals: A simple OP_RETURN protocol for associating data in a single transaction by defining key, value pairs. A flexible protocol suitable for many applications Compatible with faucets, and […]
Author Identity Protocol
A simple and flexible method to sign arbitrary OP_RETURN data with Bitcoin ECDSA signatures. Authors: Attila Aros, Satchmo Special thanks to Monkeylord and Unwriter for feedback and ideas. Note: Use the bitcoinfiles-sdk to build, sign, and verify document signatures. Inspired by techniques described by Monkeylord at https://github.com/monkeylord/bitcoin-ibe Built on top and leveraging Bitcoin Data Protocol by Unwriter at https://b.bitdb.network/ […]
C://_ Content Addressable Files over Bitcoin
C:// is an immutable URI scheme for referencing B:// protocol files, a simple Bitcoin file storage protocol. The file system is constructed from Bitcoin transactions, and is instantly serviced through HTTP/HTTPS endpoint. Why? Having immutable files on the blockchain is not enough, since you still have to trust the server that is providing the file itself. However, […]
Bit://
There are 3 parts to this protocol solution: Generic URI Scheme: A new expressive URI scheme that can custom-reference any Bitcoin app protocol object on the blockchain. Decentralized Router: A decentralized routing engine that maps the generic URI scheme to real world service providers who implement each protocol, using Bitcom. Authentication: A two-way mechanism to connect service endpoints to […]
BitcoinSV – BitSocket
Bitsocket Is a powerful bitcoin push notification service for building real time bitcoin applications. Bitsocket lets you subscribe to any pattern of realtime bitcoin transactions through Bitquery and build apps that are driven by the event. Using bitsocket as a bitcoin message bus, it is possible to construct various bitcoin application architectures through message piping: Bitcoin AppBuild applications […]
BitcoinSV – BitDB
BitDB Is an autonomous database that continuously synchronizes itself with Bitcoin. BitDB stores every bitcoin transaction in a structured document format that can be queried against like a regular database. With a simple MongoDB query, anyone can easily query, filter, and build powerful decentralized applications on Bitcoin. BitDB is an autonomous database that continuously synchronizes […]
