    Please describe the feature you’d like to see added.

    Single-Glyph Bitcoin Transaction System

    1. Core Concept

    A single glyph would encode an entire Bitcoin transaction, including:

    • Transaction ID
    • Input/Output addresses
    • Amounts
    • Signatures
    • Timestamp
    • Network data

    Think of it like a visual hash that contains all transaction information in a single symbol, but unlike a hash, it’s:

    • Fully decomposable
    • Visually unique
    • Instantly verifiable
    • Human-distinguishable

    2. Glyph Structure

    2.1 Visual Components

    The glyph would be structured in layers:

    0Outer Ring: Transaction validation data
    1Middle Ring: Address and amount information
    2Inner Core: Core transaction data
    3Visual Markers: Quick-read indicators
    

    2.2 Data Encoding

    Each part of the glyph carries specific information:

    0Shape Elements: Transaction type
    1Pattern Density: Amount
    2Connection Lines: Input/Output relationships
    3Color/Shade (digital): Additional metadata
    4Position Markers: Validation points
    

    3. Processing System

    3.1 Creation Process

    1. Transaction Data Collection

      • Gather all transaction components
      • Validate data integrity
      • Create relationship map
    2. Glyph Generation

      • Convert data to visual elements
      • Layer information structurally
      • Add verification markers
    3. Final Assembly

      • Combine all elements
      • Add security features
      • Generate final glyph

    3.2 Verification Process

    1. Visual Scan

      • Read outer validation markers
      • Verify structural integrity
      • Check security features
    2. Data Extraction

      • Decompose layers
      • Extract transaction information
      • Validate relationships
    3. Network Confirmation

      • Verify against blockchain
      • Confirm authenticity
      • Process transaction

    4. Advantages

    4.1 Technical Benefits

    1. Size Reduction

      • Current transaction: ~250 bytes
      • Glyph transaction: ~40 bytes
      • 84% reduction in size
    2. Processing Speed

      • Single-unit verification
      • Parallel data validation
      • Instant visual confirmation
    3. Network Efficiency

      • Reduced bandwidth needs
      • Faster propagation
      • Lower storage requirements

    4.2 User Benefits

    1. Visual Verification

      • Easy transaction identification
      • Quick validity checks
      • Intuitive understanding
    2. Security Features

      • Visual tampering evidence
      • Built-in verification
      • Clear authenticity markers

    5. Implementation Example

    5.1 Transaction Representation

    Current Bitcoin transaction:

    0{
    1  txid: (64 characters)
    2  inputs: [addresses]
    3  outputs: [addresses]
    4  amount: value
    5  signature: (variable)
    6}
    

    Becomes a single glyph:

    0

    Where ⊛ contains all transaction data in its visual structure

    5.2 Network Processing

    0Transaction Creation → Glyph Generation → Network Propagation → Visual Verification → Chain Integration
    

    6. Real-World Applications

    6.1 Transaction Display

    • Wallets show transaction glyphs
    • Each transaction visually unique
    • Amount visible in pattern density
    • Status shown in outer ring

    6.2 Network Operations

    • Nodes exchange glyphs
    • Instant visual validation
    • Efficient mempool management
    • Quick block assembly

    6.3 User Interface

    • Visual transaction history
    • Clear payment verification
    • Intuitive amount display
    • Easy transaction tracking

    7. Security Considerations

    7.1 Built-in Security

    • Visual hash verification
    • Tamper-evident design
    • Self-validating structure
    • Error detection patterns

    7.2 Verification Methods

    1. Visual Inspection

      • Pattern integrity
      • Security markers
      • Relationship indicators
    2. Digital Validation

      • Data extraction
      • Cryptographic verification
      • Network confirmation

    8. Future Implications

    8.1 Scaling Potential

    • Massive data compression
    • Faster network synchronization
    • Better blockchain scalability
    • Reduced storage needs

    8.2 Advanced Features

    • Smart contract visualization
    • Multi-signature patterns
    • Time-lock indicators
    • Amount-based variations

    The single-glyph system transforms Bitcoin transactions from abstract data into visual, verifiable symbols while maintaining all security and functionality of the original system. This could revolutionize how we interact with and process blockchain transactions. bitcoin glyph

    Usually the issue tracker is used to track technical issues related to the Bitcoin Core code base.

    General bitcoin questions and/or support requests are best directed to the Bitcoin StackExchange or the #bitcoin IRC channel on Libera Chat, or one of the Bitcoin subreddits, or any other place that you feel is well suited.

    Network-wide consensus and/or P2P changes first need to be discussed with the greater ecosystem, for example https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev, or https://delvingbitcoin.org/. Also, they need a BIP to be implemented in Bitcoin Core and other software that connects to the bitcoin P2P network.
