Hi,

[I sent this email 2 days ago prior my registration to the mailing list; =
please forgive me if this is a duplicate]

I would like to propose an extension to the Payment Protocol (bip-0070) =
to address the case of recurring payments in Bitcoin -- new bip or =
modification of bip-0070.

There has been a lot of growth in the last few years in the =
'subscription economy' with many new companies embracing that model -- =
online video, gaming, groceries, newspapers,... In parallel, Bitcoin is =
growing into a mainstream currency (hence bip-0070), and so the next =
logical step would be to define a protocol to address that need.

We have been working in the past few years on an open-source billing =
platform (http://kill-bill.org/), and recently came with a prototype to =
do recurring billing in Bitcoin (see =
http://thekillbillstory.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/bitcoin-plugin/ and =
http://thekillbillstory.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/coinbase-integration-expe=
riment/).


The work flow would look similar to the one from bip-0070. There would =
need to be some additions; the flow could be summarized as follow:

0. Click: 'Subscribe Now'
1. Wallet would get  a RecurringPaymentRequestAuth which describes the =
nature of the future recurring payments
2. The Customer would get prompted from the wallet to authorize it.
3. The wallet would then poll the Merchant server (startup time, and/or =
well defined frequency) and potentially merchant would start issuing a =
PaymentRequest); the role of the wallet is to ensure that PaymentRequest =
is within the bounds of what was accepted by the customer-- amount, =
frequency,.. If it is, then it would make the Payment the same way it =
works for bip-0070

Is that something that the community would be interested in? We could =
provide more details about the protocol we have in mind (messages and =
flow), and also provide an implementation with bitcoinj as a wallet and =
Kill Bill as a merchant server.

Le me know what you think.
