Description

Refer discussion under https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-ml/2017-August/000073.html

The use of "bitcoin:" in URI's poses problems for users, Bitcoin Cash needs it own prefix.

This task is to implement whatever is agreed on by the Cash implementations.

Question was also asked by me in D466

Do we change the MIME type as well?

Right now it's

application/bitcoin-payment

and

application/bitcoin-paymentack

Defined in src/qt/paymentserver.cpp

The URI (main part of this issue) is done, marking as Resolved.

Will need to investigate @CCulianu 's question about the MIME type.
