Hi, have you checked out databases like OKFN and searched for existing
vocabularies for payments? I don't think it's a great idea to
re-invent it, if there is already some existing protocol.

random search gave me that:

http://schema.org/PaymentMethod

http://www.heppnetz.de/ontologies/goodrelations/v1#PayPal << adding
something right here for bitcoin!? (diners club and similar also exist
there)

payment relationships:

more search results:

Thanks for the pointers. I am aware of most of this work, indeed I speak regularly to many of the authors.

I will reuse as much as possible, but some terms will be bitcoin specific.

I came across:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_glossary

Which is really nice.

Question is where to host it. I have 3 ideas so far

1. bitcoin.org -- logical, but no https and github doesnt let you set mime types

2. w3id.org -- new site could be a good permanent location

3. bitcoin.it wiki -- has https but im unsure i can set a mime type, anyone know who maintains this?
