-==Standard Payment Codes (v1)==
+==Versions==
+
+Payment codes contain a version byte which identifies a specific set of behavior.
+
+Unless otherwise specified, payment codes of different versions are interoperable. If Alice uses a version x payment code, and Bob uses a version y payment code, they can still send and receive transactions between each other.
+
+Currently specified versions:
+
+* Version 1
+** Address type: P2PKH
+** Notification type: address
+* Version 2
+** Address type: P2PKH
+** Notification type: bloom-multisig
+
+===Recommended Versions===
+
+* Wallets which have bloom filtering capabilities SHOULD create version 2 payment codes instead of version 1 payment codes.
+* Version 1 payment codes are only recommended for wallets which lack access to bloom filtering capability.

Compatible wallets MAY provide a method for a user to manually specify the public key associated with a notification transaction in order to recover payment codes sent via non-standard notification transactions.
+=====Post-Notification Privacy Considerations=====
+
+Incautious handling of change outputs from notification transactions may cause unintended loss of privacy.
+
+The recipient of a transaction which spends a change output from a prior notification transaction will learn about the potential connection between the sender and the recipient of the notification transaction.
+
+The following actions are recommended to reduce this risk:
+
+* Wallets which support mixing SHOULD mix change outputs from notification transactions prior to spending them
+* Wallets which do not support mixing MAY simulate mixing by creating a transaction which spends the change output to the next external BIP44 address

+
+* Notification change output: the change output from a notification transaction which which resides in the sender's wallet, but can be automatically located by the intended recipient
+* Payment code identifier: a 33 byte representation of a payment code constructed by prepending 0x02 to the SHA256 hash of the binary serialization of the payment code

+====Notification Transaction====
+
+Note: this procedure is used if Bob uses a version 2 payment code (regardless of the the version of Alice's payment code). If Bob's payment code is not version 2, see the appropriate section in this specification.
+
+# Construct a notification transaction as per the version 1 instructions, except do not create the output to Bob's notification address
+# Create a notification change address as follows:
+## Obtain the pubkey corresponding to the next change address
+## Construct a multisig output in the form:
+<pre>OP_1 <Bob's payment code identifier> <change address pubkey> OP_2 OP_CHECKMULTISIG</pre>
+
+The relative ordering of the payment code identifier and change address pubkey in the above script MAY be randomized
+
+Bob detects notification transactions by adding his payment code identifier to his bloom filter.
+
+# When the filter returns a notification transaction, the sender's payment code is unblinded using the same procedure as for version 1 notification transactions.
+
+Alice's wallet should spend the notification change output at the next appropriate opportunity.
