There is a transaction flag that you can use to sign a transaction without signing the to address. I forget what the enum is called.

I think it is used for paying transaction fees. Because when you set up and send the transaction, you can't know who will generate the block and get to claim the transaction fee.

Bump can send just about any information. It is a neat concept.

No reasons you couldn't send a bitcoin address or an entire transaction. (One of those signed with the any receiver setting.)

There is an "any" setting?  How does that work?

The problem wth bumb is anonimity, but to have it as an option to exchange bitcoins would be great.

I was over at Paypal, and noticed their new add for Bump on Android which also advertises sending and receiving money via Paypal over Bump.  This makes sense, since all that Paypal really needs to send money from one user to another is their registered email address, which is something that Bump can certainly do.

And if they can do it, we sure as hell can too.  Any Android hackers here familiar with Bump?  Are there extra fields that could be used to transfer a Bitcoin address?
