Hi Peercoiners,

Today I published the Pay-to-TagHash (P2TH) paper at http://peerassets.github.io/P2TH/

Make sure to watch the PeerAssets organization on github! https://github.com/PeerAssets

Thanks to all reviewers for all their valuable feedback, I hope you all like this work.

Regards,
hrobeers

Cool, looks great, and look forward to reading it

P.S. I had a look at your twitter that thought the Japanese skateboarder was also cool!

I made a function in javascript that converts a string/hex to tag: https://jsfiddle.net/8hx81dL5/1/

With this it function would not be that hard to create a spawn transaction with peercoinjs-lib, I reckon

::slight_smile:

Good stuff!
We might want to create a set of unit test cases to make sure that all implementations generate the same output.

The example from my paper fails with your code.

[code]//test////////////////////////////////////
var EXPECTED=“12w3JJ84RXmJUZTgafJJ91vvLg8oU5djUG”, INPUT=“tag and salt”;

if (getP2THProofOfBurn(INPUT,‘hex’,‘bitcoin’)!=EXPECTED) alert(‘nope’)[/code]

I guess this is because javascript strings are utf16 encoded.
Can you reencode the string to utf8 and try to run this test case?

Thx

I am not sure I get it.

so Sha256 of ‘tag and salt’ is not ‘1c10414dcb936c62858bddde3ac1465d87dfa723e0e208e04ba8e475b84020b1’?

This tool tells me I am correct:
https://caligatio.github.io/jsSHA/

the code already works with utf8:
if (message.constructor == String)
message = Crypto.UTF8.stringToBytes(message);

Yes, you are correct.
Maybe bitcoin-tool is incorrect.
I’ll investigate this later.

That’s why we need a test set when we implement PeerAssets :wink:

Yes, you are correct. Maybe bitcoin-tool is incorrect. I'll investigate this later.

any feedback yet?

8

Sorry, didn’t investigate yet.
I’m too busy with PeerKeeper and limited in time.

You are waiting on this?

Well if your paper needs correction (and the bitcoin-tool), better as early as possible before the hype starts. If the problem lies on the above example, then I ll correct it.

Just for kicks, I made a P2TH converter with vue: https://jointhepartypooper.github.io/Pay-to-TagHash--P2TH--calculator/
