A redeemable transaction is created to include a transaction output that includes an amount and a transaction locking script that includes the unlocking transaction constraint, with unlocking the amount being contingent upon execution of at least one unlocking script of the unlocking transaction satisfying the unlocking transaction constraint. The redeemable transaction is caused to be validated at a node of a blockchain network. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A method of making a decision on a blockchain is disclosed. First public keys are received from each of a plurality of participants (A, B, C), wherein each first public key represents a possible selection by a participant and is related to a corresponding first private key by a cryptographic operation having a homomorphic property. The first public keys are combined to generate second public keys, wherein each second public key represents a possible decision based on a combination of possible selections. Third public keys, corresponding to the second public keys, are communicated to the participants. A voting blockchain transaction is generated (T{subscript}c {/subscript}voting), wherein an input of the voting transaction is a script executable by means of a digital signature corresponding to a first private key of each of a plurality of the participants, wherein each first private key represents a selection made by the participant. An output of the voting transaction is a script representing a decision based on the selections made by the participants. A payment blockchain transaction (T{subscript}p {/subscript}payment) is generated for transferring a first digital asset, wherein execution of an output of the payment transaction requires a digital signature corresponding to a third public key corresponding to the decision of the voting transaction. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Blockchain environments may mix-and-match different encryption, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work schemes when mining blockchain transactions. Each encryption, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work scheme may be separate, stand-alone programs, files, or third-party services. Blockchain miners may be agnostic to a particular coin''s or network''s encryption, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work schemes, thus allowing any blockchain miner to process or mine data in multiple blockchains. GPUs, ASICs, and other specialized processing hardware components may be deterred by forcing cache misses, cache latencies, and processor stalls. Hashing, difficulty, and/or proof-of-work schemes require less programming code, consume less storage space/usage in bytes, and execute faster. Blockchain mining schemes may further randomize byte or memory block access, further improve cryptographic security. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | In certain embodiments, the use of re-usable cold storage keys to sign messages may be facilitated. In some embodiments, an offline computer system (operating within an offline computing environment) may obtain, from a removable computer-readable storage medium, signing key shards corresponding to a signing private key and a blockchain transaction to be signed, where the signing key shards satisfy a key shard threshold that is (i) a number of key shards required for reconstructing the signing private key and (ii) less than a number of key shards derived from the signing private key using a ceremony key. The offline computer system may form a ciphertext of the signing private key using the signing key shards and reconstruct the signing private key by decrypting the ciphertext using the ceremony key. The offline computer system may sign the blockchain transaction using the signing private key. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | An approach for blockchain transaction processing using generative cryptograms for bi-lateral and Multi-lateral transactions may be provided. The approach may include, the use of decentralization ledger storage, negating the need of repetitive storage while preserving the need for data redundancy. A generative cryptogram may provide verification of processed blocks and file handles or storage address schemes of the ledger storage. The approach creates a cryptogram which is added to transaction processing, post processing and commits to the ledger. In the approach, the cryptogram is the only version of storage pointer and is utilized in subsequent transaction processing without the need for extensive compute and latest cryptogram is all that would be needed for transaction processing. |
