Need: bitcoin-"send to owners" RPC call

[dexX7]

This seems almost redundant to sendmany and one may just create a list of owners and create the transaction via some other means, but since an explicit call would be much easier, I suggest to implement a "send to owners" RPC call for bitcoin.

I'll sign up for this task, but I'm not sure, if I get this ready within the next days due to xmas.

I am confused, we have this:
https://github.com/mastercoin-MSC/mastercore/blob/mscore-0.0.9/doc/apidocumentation.md#broadcasting-a-send-to-owners-transaction

[dexX7]

This doesn't work for Bitcoin, but only token transactions. I say it's almost trivial, because it can be done manually, but since it's often named in "comparisons of different meta-coin systems", I suggest to do it.

sendtoowners_MP works for MSC, TMSC and all SP on Master Protocol.
You are probably suggesting sending some BTC to all owners of MP-properties? Proportionally? That sounds like something that would need to be added to the spec first.

Correct.

A note in the spec wouldn't hurt, that's true. Strictly seen it's not a Master protocol transaction, but combining Core functions, but an explicit data package to tag such a transaction for easier identification by transaction explorers would be great.

In this context: OmniLayer/spec#298

Thinking a bit more -- the current STO MP command does not actually "send" anything to the actual owners (no blockchain entry for those destination addresses).
So the change to the sendtoowners_MP command you are proposing is actually more drastic than appears on first glance. Please conitnue in the spec instead.

Just clarifying here - a bitcoin STO has absolutely nothing to do the the
MP and is not issued via the MP. Sure you may use MP balances to
determine to whom and how much BTC you are going to send, but there is no
protocol packet to parse, just a bitcoin transaction with a bunch of
outputs.

As such, the Q stands as should this be a Omni Protocol function?

I actually think it will be useful for integrators, but agree on
prioritization - if no-one is asking for it yet, let's put it on the
backburner.
