How does it work?

One needs to send a simple Bitcoin Cash transaction to this service's deposit address.
The transaction must pay a pinning fee and specify the URL of a remote file which needs to be pinned on IPFS using an OP_RETURN output.
The OP_RETURN format is the following:
<'IPBC'> <'PIN'> <'URL'>
, where
<>
denotes a data chunk pushed to bitcoin VM stack.
The IPFS-BCH service constantly monitors the deposit address and upon arrival of a pin request transaction will download the remote file and upload it to IPFS.
It will then send a transaction to the reciept address, with one output being an OP_RETURN in the following format:
<'IPBC'> <'DONE'> <'TXID'> <'CID'>
.
The
TXID
here is the hash of the deposit transaction. This field allows to link the deposit and receipt transactions.
The
CID
field is the content identifier of the uploaded file on the IPFS.
Pinning files on IPFS can be easily scripted in your workflows usingmainnet.cash
