I imagine people are using other chains now, but this protocol is well-known due to a compromised web interface that exists. It works and is in use on the bitcoin variants. I am not presently using it. OP_RETURN is a bitcoin opcode for storing data politely. Older protocols use UTXO outputs for data storage, which is more robust but makes every node keep the data in a live database rather than the transaction archive. These transactions can be generated programmatically the same way any bitcoin transaction is generated. This protocol specification has not changed since 2018 and is still in use. Posting to a public blockchain should be done anonymously. https://memo.cash/protocol <h2>Protocol</h2> <p> Protocol uses P2PKH addresses.
