Can I prove that I made a bitcoin transfer to a particular address? Say, for example in case of a legal dispute. I am asking for something more substantial than a screenshot of my wallet. I understand that all transactions somehow ar stored on the network?
Then the question is, how can you prove to the person you paid that the address was one that they gave you to pay?
And the answer to that:
We need a payment protocol with non-repudiation built in.

And a variation of which is being developed now. The Development mailing list has a thread on the topic.
