New field to add OP_RETURN output

Open pedromvpg opened this issue 3 years ago • 13 comments

Is there a way to add new field on the "Send" screen to add OP_RETURN output to a transaction?

I'd like to support this, but there isn't space on the Send screen for the area indicated - it's used by the transaction diagram.

This is how Electrum does it - too hacky?

Could it be a control per output, to pre-populate the "Pay to" field? Pay "MAX" would have to move to the left but would work because it would couple it with the Amount field.

Outstanding Action: Identify way of adding OpReturn functionality without compromising UI Proposed Priority: Low

Bump, glad I searched for this. I agree this would be cool, but can't justify any kind of urgency beyond that :laughing:

It is urgent because I'd like to create a pre-signed transaction with an OP_Return for my son's upcoming birth 🙈😂

I won't have time to create but publish a transaction then.

Also would be good to make OP_RETURN outputs visible in the transaction viewer

They already are.

Fwiw I still haven't heard a good use for this feature request.

Good use of a feature that allows adding an OP_RETURN message or good use of a specific implementation described in one of the posts in this thread?

A good reason for adding arbitrary OP_RETURN messages. Obviously the BIP47 implementation adds OP_RETURNs already for a specific purpose.

A good reason

my reason was to "label" a transaction permanently in the blockchain but I see how this is not necessarily the desirable use case in general, and adding a box for OP_Return would probably lead to unnecessary overuse. On the other hand, it's people's money, so...

It would be nice to have this option, I don't mind if it requires an extra step of checking a box somewhere in the settings or if it is implemented similar way to your electrum example from the second post.
