Payment Requests

Payment Requests are a proposed new way to make Bitcoin payments.

Instead of sending somebody a bitcoin address and asking them to pay to that address, you give them a PaymentRequest message which bundles up more information than is contained in just a bitcoin address. A SignedPaymentRequest bundles a PaymentRequest with a digital identity and signature, so you can be sure that you are paying the correct person or merchant.

Specification

See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0070 for the current specification.
