Hi everyone, My name's Lautaro and I'm currently acting as Tech Lead of Po.et <https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OP_RETURN#OP_RETURN_prefixes>. At Po.et we use colored coins <https://github.com/poetapp/node/blob/3c905bc5dbd3722ad39ac68041d9f2a099e5e84c/src/BlockchainWriter/ClaimController.ts#L101-L110> to store data on the Bitcoin blockchain with prefix "POET".
I've read in an old version of the OP_RETURN entry of the bitcoin wiki <https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=OP_RETURN&oldid=62560> that *protocols wishing to claim OP_RETURN prefixes should use the standard Bitcoin Improvement Proposals process*. That entry seems to have changed recently <https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OP_RETURN#OP_RETURN_prefixes>, no longer stating that we should follow the BIP process, and I haven't been able to find any existing BIP claiming an OP_RETURN prexif, but for the sake of thoroughness I'd like to ask for your help or confirmation here. Should we actually be using the BIP process to claim a prefix? Thanks in advance, Lautaro
