[Bitcoin-ml] Messaging through transaction

[Chris Priest]

It depends on what you mean by "text message". If you mean a message that
is written by the sender, and intended to only be read by the sender, then
you can use the memo server specification:
https://github.com/priestc/MultiExplorer/blob/master/memo_server_spec.md

If you mean a message that is written by the sender, and intended to only
be read by the receiver, then that is a bit more difficult. You'd need to
cypher the text using the public key of the recipient, and the recipient
would have to decypher that text with their private key. I'm not
knowledgeable enough about cryptography to know if such is even possible.
If it is possible, then the memo specification should be extended to
include such "two way" memos.
