Partitioning a request into transactions for a blockchain

Abstract

In one aspect, the present disclosure proposes methods, devices and systems for partitioning a request associated with a digital asset into an arbitrary number of transactions. The partitioning is based on knowing or obtaining a maximum number of outputs allowed for a request and an arbitrarily selection of a possible integer partition of an arbitrarily selected integer. The randomly selected integer partition then forms the basis for determining the number of transactions and UTXOs, so that a digital asset value can be arbitrarily split across the determined UTXOs before being stored on a public blockchain. In another aspect, the present disclosure proposes methods, devices and systems for arbitrarily distributing a digital asset value associated with a request across an arbitrarily determined number of transactions. This is based on an arbitrarily selected number of transactions, and a maximum number of outputs allowed for each request. In another respect, the present disclosure proposes methods, devices and systems for generating or determining one or more public addresses associated with a given entity for use in blockchain transactions for the given entity, so that such addresses may be securely and correctly associated with the given entity, while maintaining anonymity of the entity's identity.
