How to add a new parameter to a blockchain

Question

During the creation of a block chain, using "multichain-util create <name of block chain>", is there a way to embed additional data into the parameters? The idea is to include additional parameters to send and receive messages in addition to transactions - implementing a basic messaging platform on top of multichain

Answer 1

This is not done at the time of creating a blockchain, but rather when you send a transaction. If you work through the Getting Started page, you'll see in section 6 how to add metadata to transactions. (You can skip section 5 on the way, but not the earlier sections.)
