Thoughts on the future

Where does Minima go next?

Suggested future Minima blockchain developments

Two suggestions, which are linked:

• Collections, i.e. a series of non-fungible coins, sharing the same tokenid. This would be useful for projects wishing to have a single token, but different attributes for each coin within that, e.g. a serial number, a picture, a number of minutes of electric vehicle charging paid for. We see this as essential for non-fungible usecases. There is currently no good way to do this which does not feel forced and complicated.
• Per-UTXO state. Minima's state concept, combined with address and token scripts, is powerful and a joy for developers. However, all outputs from a transaction must share the same state. Excluding laborious workarounds, this means that two or more coins going into a transsaction with different state cannot keep that difference coming out.

These changes could be added into the Minima Global client, or a team could write a new client.

As an example, MinimaCentral would like to write a simple space trading game, with a collection of spaceships (tokens with same tokenid but different serial number) trading (via transactions) goods (recorded in each coin's state) with each other (token and address scripts govern what is possible).
