I've been checking out OP_Return Code and managed to send some transactions using my bitcoin core and Electrum wallet. Now, I need a way to do this from my phone instead of my desktop. I'm on the hunt for a mobile wallet that can handle OP_Return transactions.
But I haven't come across any good options for mobile wallets that allow this.
It's frustrating since there are plenty of alternatives out there, like LND mobile wallets and Taproot wallets for ordinals. So why doesn't anyone have this feature yet?
If anyone has tips on how I can pull this off with a mobile wallet, I'd really appreciate it.
Have you tried using an electrum android for this, maybe you can try it by actually typing a script in the pay to field, although not directly accessible on mobile wallet AFAIK, you can go through the Send option and find the field and then write out the script.
Use this thread by promise444c5 to learn how to write the scripts
NOTE: i havent personally tried this out so be cautious
Typical OP_RETURN mobile wallet are rare because nobody sit on their chair to lock their Bitcoin over a text message on the network for no reason.
The OP_RETURN limit was increased to pivot all spams over there but the turn out was lower than the expectation. If there is high demand to store data on the network, I'm sure there will be many open source mobile wallet that will support.
Look at others you mentioned, there are lnd because of demand for lightning transactions, taproot ordinals had their demands one time, though it has reduced by 3/4 and there were wallets for them. If OP_RETURN becomes a thing, the mobile wallet will be available for all devices.
Samourai wallet used to support OP_RETURN script code, but currently no Android wallet supports OP_RETURN. The best solution is to use https://coinb.in or switch to Electrum desktop version.
I read this thread , Op had excellent writing skills. That was a beginner friendly thread. But I already know this method , I was just looking for Alternative so that I can use this feature on my mobile wallet.
Yeah I hope OP_RETURN will finally keep it's pace with other's. I'm eagerly waiting for a collection of collectibles for OP_RETURN. Same as Ordinals inscription. A hype can boost it. Hope Bitcoin maxi would consider this.
Can I use this with my mobile wallet? Did not find any documentation about this .
Coinb.in? If your Mobile wallet supports signing unsigned raw transactions, yes.
Else, you'll have to use coinb.in to sign which requires you to export the private key(s) from your mobile wallet.
And the transaction creation process is manual which requires precise calculation of the inputs and outputs amount, manually selecting the right inputs, etc.
Or you'll end up donating most of your bitcoins to the miners.
I wouldn't recommend it to newbies or regular users.
If you insist, find any reputable general tutorial on how to use Coinb.in the internet.
The only additional step that you need is to tick "Null Data" in the "Advanced Options" drop-down menu.
Then add another output (click "+") and you can now put your Hex-encoded data in one of the 'address' text field with zero amount.
The other address field should be your recipient.
If your wallet supports signing unsigned raw transaction (serialized raw transaction, not PSBT); import the transaction you created in coinb.in to your wallet, sign and broadcast it.
It would be an interesting project to implement! I have an Android developer account, so basically all I would need to do is make some app called "Bitcoin Transaction Tools" that lets you create different kinds of test transactions, to reverse-engineer transactions etc and of course I could make it generate an OP_Return transaction as well.
Broadcasting would be a different story, you'd have to do that yourself.
