Support colored coins about bitcore HOT 9 CLOSED

Yes, please!

Also this from Flavien Charlon of CoinPrism: https://github.com/OpenAssets/open-assets-protocol/blob/master/specification.mediawiki
I think CoinPrism's OpenAssets spec is a continuation of the earlier docs and discussions linked in the first post here. Compatible, not orthogonal.

Why not support ALL the Bitcoin2.0 protocols Including Counterparty, Mastercoin, as well as the currently 3 different flavors of Colored Coins?

from bitcore.

I don't think all those players are compatible or interoperable, so a single implementation is probably not practical. Module per colored coin variant might be more manageable, with some form of tx recognizer to dispatch to the appropriate handler.

Yes. I like that @dthorpe. Excellent. A module per implementation might be more manageable. I can have Chromawallet, Counterparty, an Mastercoin team all contribute a design for the right module. @maraoz what do you need to make this work?

from bitcore.

@dthorpe @taariq thanks for your contributions to the discussion. We're probably going to add support for one implementation and let other developers contribute code for others. We're still deciding what to do but will update as we have more info

What implementation are you thinking about? Counterparty seems to be the biggest player.

from bitcore.

This has been put on hold for now, due to other priorities. We still haven't decided on a particular implementation yet.

@bjackson, I think Counterparty had anticipated using the original 80 byte-limit imposed by the metadata OP_RETURN restriction, which has been reduced to 40 bytes; giving support to players like Flavien and the Open Assets supporters, as well as Gidean Greenspan's Coinspark approach...

An open assets protocol would be cool on bitcore.

As similar to #73, possible paths forward (and not directly related with this repo):

• Color coin service for bitcore-node (https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-node)
• Support added into bitcore-wallet-service (https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet-service)
