Sure. How can you proof that?

And by the way, finally answer following:

This is interesting, and is a possible way to embed messages inside anonymous payments, at the cost of transaction fees.

So if a payment contains a No-op string that says "Message encrypted for Public Key [xxx]: [yyyyy]" then that gets passed along to the destination? Or even "Cleartext message to recipient: [zzzzz]."

Of course the content of these messages - the [xxx] or [yyyyy] have nothing to do with Bitcoin, but they could be used as part of a layer on top of Bitcoin.

The reason I'm so interested in embedding messages is that they allow use of a "static" anonymity network like Freenet, rather than a "live" network like Tor or I2P. Live networks have exit nodes, a few of which can be compromised. If a government compromises 1% of all exit nodes, then they have a small chance of figuring out where a given site is hosted. So to use my Heroin Store example, they would send an N byte message to the store and watch all of their compromised exit nodes for N byte messages. They'd do this over a few hours, watching where N byte messages got sent to, eventually discovering the IP address of the store.

In a network like Freenet, data just floats around - there is no one machine where a website (for example) lives. You publish data to the cloud, and as long as people access it periodically, it stays around.

Hey there, I see you're really diving deep into this stuff! Good on ya.

Sure thing, embedding messages in the Bitcoin network is totally doable. It's a bit like scribbling secret notes on banknotes. Only these notes can be seen by anyone who knows where to look.

About that No-op string idea of yours - yep, it could work just like that. You'd essentially be passing along info via the payment itself. Clever!

As for using static networks over live ones, I get your drift. Freenet's decentralized approach does have its advantages when it comes to anonymity and security.

But remember, nothing's ever 100% foolproof in this world of ours - even with crypto and decentralization thrown into the mix!

Always gotta keep innovating and staying one step ahead of those looking to compromise our systems! Keep those ideas flowing mate!
