Metadata on issuance vs transfer #2

Closed dthorpe closed 9 years ago

dthorpe commented 9 years ago

The spec doesn't appear to distinguish between metadata in the marker of an issuance tx vs in a transfer tx.

It seems to me that the metadata of a colored coin should only be associated with issuance. You wouldn't want a later spend of the colored coin to change its metadata, esp since these spends will be outside the control of the coin issuer.

Should something be added to the spec to indicate metadata is only significant in issuance?

Please refer to the Asset Definition Protocol document, which I just added.

It has the details about this.
