[Core] - SPIKE - Create Script for Miners to use OpConvert Function in GoldenAge about go-quai HOT 1 CLOSED

Notes:

Conversion is simple - to send a conversion you need to paste an address on the to field that is the other ledger.

Quai to Qi - put in a Qi address.
Qi to Quai - put in a Quai address. User has to spend a UTXO, and then make a UTXO. The output is the UTXO and the to address needs to be in a different ledger Quai.

The different between the two - the output has a value. The difference between the inputs and the outputs in a conversion is the fee (from Qi to Quai). Output has to have the address.

Are we allowing for address reusing on conversions? Yes
Qi to Quai - yes
Quai to Qi - there is only one to address - since we are using the same transaction type

Unlock process:

Unlocking Quai is like sending a 0 value transaction to the address of the lockup contract - and it will automatically redeem all of your unlocked conversions - assuming you have enough gas - probably need about 200k gas -

Unlocking Qi - is just spending the UTXO that is now unlocked.

Address of quailockup address can be distributed.

Stepping stone:
Get Qi to work
Get conversion to work with Qi (getting gas estimations correct)

Once we get these to work above - we can do this in pelagus.

Create a ticket after golden age - do we like the concept from when we do the quai to qi transaction if we reuse the same transaction?

Note:

There will be a minimum amount of quai / qi to convert.

Summary:
If you support Qi, and you neuter the checks on inter-ledger addressing, the only thing that actually has to be done is that the gas estimation has to be correct. Gas estimation converts qi to quai at the last prime terminus. We will use this for estimating gas and double it.
