I=E2=80= =99ve been doing some work lately to create a specification for bitcoin = pointers. 

They can be used to point to transactions, inputs, outputs or = some internal items within them.
The proposals = strive for simplicity and user friendliness over compactness or other = attributes.

There are three proposals, each of which builds upon the = previous one, namely:

a) Canonical = Pointers
The basic proposal.They look like this = example: btc@170.1/179-631-520
Here is a link to the Google Docs document ->  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PBN4wKFYtgvDxV4DrWUdNe9Xqmb= 8GVxoIGDKRkY9Xr4/edit?usp=3Dsharing

b) Mnemonic = Pointers 
They build on Canonical Pointers = and the dictionary provided in bip39 to use words instead of = numbers. 
The previous Canonical pointer can = thus be expressed as btc@best.ability/biology-exclude-donate
Here is a link to the Google Docs document ->  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wLK2_UrRzK0eshkDntUIbVlIdsw= zuHmYNELOePDjtPY/edit?usp=3Dsharing

c) Domain = Pointers 
They build on the Domain Name = Registration system to encode a pointer to a Canonical Pointer as = in btc@example.com
Here is a link to = the Google Docs document -> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KY7rM090oKzGn8NAz4XFxQnfkyD= 5gs4V6vpbfdw92RM/edit?usp=3Dsharing

I haven=E2=80=99t had any peer review = yet, so it is very likely that some small or big problems can be = found. 

I=E2=80=99d welcome any feedback from the = community.
