==Standard Payment Codes (v1)==
87+
==Versions==
88+
89+
Payment codes contain a version byte which identifies a specific set of behavior.
90+
91+
Unless otherwise specified, payment codes of different versions are interoperable. If Alice uses a version x payment code, and Bob uses a version y payment code, they can still send and receive transactions between each other.
92+
93+
Currently specified versions:
94+
95+
* Version 1
96+
** Address type: P2PKH
97+
** Notification type: address
98+
* Version 2
99+
** Address type: P2PKH
100+
** Notification type: bloom-multisig

102+
===Recommended Versions===
103+
104+
* Wallets which have bloom filtering capabilities SHOULD create version 2 payment codes instead of version 1 payment codes.
105+
* Version 1 payment codes are only recommended for wallets which lack access to bloom filtering capability.

=====Post-Notification Privacy Considerations=====
206+
207+
Incautious handling of change outputs from notification transactions may cause unintended loss of privacy.
208+
209+
The recipient of a transaction which spends a change output from a prior notification transaction will learn about the potential connection between the sender and the recipient of the notification transaction.
210+
211+
The following actions are recommended to reduce this risk:
212+
213+
* Wallets which support mixing SHOULD mix change outputs from notification transactions prior to spending them
214+
* Wallets which do not support mixing MAY simulate mixing by creating a transaction which spends the change output to the next external BIP44 address

* Notification change output: the change output from a notification transaction which which resides in the sender's wallet, but can be automatically located by the intended recipient

* Payment code identifier: a 33 byte representation of a payment code constructed by prepending 0x02 to the SHA256 hash of the binary serialization of the payment code

====Notification Transaction====

349+
Note: this procedure is used if Bob uses a version 2 payment code (regardless of the the version of Alice's payment code). If Bob's payment code is not version 2, see the appropriate section in this specification.

351+
# Construct a notification transaction as per the version 1 instructions, except do not create the output to Bob's notification address
352+
# Create a notification change address as follows:
353+
## Obtain the pubkey corresponding to the next change address
354+
## Construct a multisig output in the form:
355+
<pre>OP_1 <Bob's payment code identifier> <change address pubkey> OP_2 OP_CHECKMULTISIG</pre>
356+
357+
The relative ordering of the payment code identifier and change address pubkey in the above script MAY be randomized
358+
359+
Bob detects notification transactions by adding his payment code identifier to his bloom filter.
360+
361+
# When the filter returns a notification transaction, the sender's payment code is unblinded using the same procedure as for version 1 notification transactions.
362+
363+
Alice's wallet should spend the notification change output at the next appropriate opportunity.
