BTC Scribe

A simple web app to store arbitrary text forever on Bitcoin, using the taproot inscriptions protocol.

How It Works

BTC Scribe runs purely client-side through the mempool.space API.

1. User enters message (i.e. "Hello World!)
2. BTC Scribe generates a taproot address ("bc1...ax7") and estimates the required fee (i.e. 1000 sats)
3. User submits payment to the generated taproot address (i.e. 1000 sats to "bc1...ax7")
4. BTC Scribe listens for payment to appear in mempool and submits reveal transaction using taproot output as the sole input

Please note that BTC Scribe does not confer ownership of the inscribed message. BTC Scribe merely stores the message onchain. Each reveal transaction consists of a single OP_RETURN output to minimize fees.
