Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Payment Protocol |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | BIP 70, Payment Protocol. A protocol for communication between a merchant and their customer, enabling both a better customer experience and better security against man-in-the-middle attacks on the payment process. |
| Who may write | Gavin Andresen |
| What is settled | A protocol for communication between a merchant and their customer, enabling both a better customer experience and better security against man-in-the-middle attacks on the payment process. |
| Load-bearing assumption | A peer protocol is not a consensus rule. A peer can disconnect. A block is still valid or not on its own. |
| What this library says afterwards | Status in the source: Deployed. A reading of the public specification, not a copy of it and not a certification. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
