RE: making the bitcoin address in the bitcoin: URI optional: Ok, I'm convinced, sometimes merchants won't want or need backwards compatibility and sometimes it won't make sense for them to put an arbitrary bitcoin: address there.
RE: should the customer's machine not broadcast the transaction: I'd like to hear from other wallet implementors. Do you have a notion of 'locked inputs' ? The tricky bit in constructing a transaction but not broadcasting it right away is the inputs must be locked, so they're not accidentally double-spent. I'd also like to hear from merchants: any issue with your payment processing server having "broadcast transaction" functionality? My biggest worry is that the payment protocol will not get wide support if it is too hard to implement. -- -- Gavin Andresen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
