ADDRESS specific options

[jdogresorg]

The platform will need a "GAS" token (anti-spam mechanism) and this token will be required on certain features to add some friction on expensive operations.

However, rather than just forcing people to DESTROY or DONATE the GAS token... I think ppl should have options :

1. DESTROY - Provably destroy the GAS fee, lowering supply, increasing value to holders
2. DONATE A - Donate the GAS fee to XChain protocol development (default)
3. DONATE B - Donate the GAS fee to XChain wallet development
4. DONATE C - Donate the GAS fee to XChain marketing budget
5. DONATE D - Donate the GAS fee to XXXX project / cause
6. ????

So, users can just use the platform, when GAS is required, it is used, but each individual user has the oportunity to decide how they want their gas fees used.

How do we facilitate this in an easy way?

We already have something similar in counterparty (CIP12 - Memo Requirement Through Broadcast) where an address can do a specially formatted broadcast to configure the address-specific options.

For BTNS / XChain it would look something like this :

Format

bt:ADDRESS|VERSION|FEE_PREFERENCE|REQIRE_MEMO|MORE_ADDRESS_SPECIFIC_OPTIONS

Example:

bt:ADDRESS|0|1|0

The address options could be defined in the spec, easily extended / expanded to include additional options.
