Paymail

Paymail is a practical implementation of the family of related protocols collectively referred to as BSVAlias. In brief, it is an identity protocol that removes Bitcoin addresses from the user experience. Instead of addresses, Paymail uses human-readable names that look exactly the same as email addresses. Paymails are much easier to type into a device than Bitcoin addresses and can be used to identify an individual via the Paymail identifier.

The protocol describes a procedure where a wallet provider will be able to be discovered and contacted, and can respond to payments and payment requests in real time so that payment receivers don’t have to re-use their Bitcoin Address reuse, thereby maintaining privacy.

At the time of writing, the protocols cover:

• BRFC Specifications
• Service Discovery
• Public Key Infrastructure
• Payment Addressing

Paymail is the name for the implementation of the following protocols:

• Service Discovery
• Public Key Infrastructure
• Basic Address Resolution from the Payment Addressing protocol group

The Paymail brand is reserved for products and services that, at a minimum, implement each of the above protocols.
