Abstract: A method and corresponding system is presented for controlling a blockchain transaction output and/or specifying the recipient of the output. It also provides a method of controlling and/or generating an electronic communication. The unlocking script is provided in order to spend an output from a further transaction (Tx2) on the blockchain. The input of the transaction (Tx1) and/or the output of the further transaction (Tx2) may be associated with a tokenised asset represented on, or referenced via, the blockchain. The notification address may be associated with an asset or resource represented on the blockchain, or a controller of an asset or resource represented on the blockchain. The notification address may be a network address, a cryptographic key, a uniform resource locator (URI), email address or any other address or identifier which can be represented in the metadata of a transaction script and used as a destination for an electronic communication.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for multiplexing comprising feeding a signal into a sampler, splitting a first signal into an even branch at a first set of times, splitting a second signal into an odd branch at a second set of times, feeding a switch bleed current into the first branch at the second set of time and feeding the switch bleed current into the second branch at the first set of time.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for emulating or otherwise executing the functionality of a logic gate via a computer-based distributed ledger or blockchain. The method comprises the steps of automatically generating a blockchain transaction comprising a locking script for an output, wherein a corresponding redeem script: i) specifies a plurality of public keys, each associated with a corresponding private key; and wherein each public key is uniquely associated with a potential state of at least one data source; and ii) comprises logic arranged to provide a result based on which of the plurality of associated private key is used to sign an unlocking script, wherein a minimum number of said private keys must be used to sign the unlocking script of a further blockchain transaction in order to spend the output.

Abstract: The invention provides a computer-implemented control method and corresponding system. The method may control or influence a device, system or other resource such as a technical process. The invention can provide a mechanism for emulating or otherwise executing the functionality of a logic gate via a computer-based distributed ledger (blockchain). This may be the Bitcoin blockchain or an alternative network/protocol. The invention provides logic embedded within a redeem script such that it determines which particular private keys have been used to sign an unlocking script, and then interprets the provision of those keys in accordance with a predetermined function.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and corresponding system for controlling a transfer of an asset via a blockchain. It can also be used to control and record the ownership of an asset represented on the blockchain without the need for a separate registry of ownership. The ownership and transfers thereof can be handled and recorded without the need for knowledge of the parties involved or their identities. According to one embodiment, the method comprises steps of finding an anchor transaction to begin traversal of a transaction history, traversing the transaction history to determine a current unspent transaction output (UTXO) set, and creating a distributed transaction associated with an asset for the determined UTXO. Next, the distribution transaction is broadcasted and re-directed, by an asset owner, to a select private key of the owner. After the re-directing the distribution transaction, the asset is published on the blockchain.

Abstract: Presented herein are one or more embodiments with novel techniques of: defining an asset comprising at least one private cryptographic key, each private cryptographic key being associated with an owner of the asset; generating a registry comprising at least one public cryptographic key; generating a smart contract comprising at least one rule relating to an automated generation of one or more blockchain transactions to enable a transfer to be made in respect of the asset; and using a computing agent to evaluate and/or execute the at least one rule of the smart contract. Thus, one benefit provided by the invention is that it allows the secure distribution of costs and income for an asset registered and maintained on the Blockchain, which, in turn increases the capability of such assets to meet the real-world needs of various entities such as the asset itself and investing parties.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to distributed ledger technology (including blockchain related technologies), particularly a method and corresponding system for providing a blockchain transaction comprising a redeem script for an output that comprises: i) a plurality of public keys, each associated with a corresponding private key, wherein each public key is uniquely associated with a potential state of at least one data source; and ii) logic arranged to provide a result based on: A) a determination of which of the plurality of associated private key(s) is/are used to sign the unlocking script, so as to provide an interim result: and B) a comparison of a parameter supplied via the unlocking script against the interim result, and further attempting to spend the transaction output more than once, each attempt supplying a different parameter.
