string transfer

Question

I followed this simple video https://vimeo.com/146877321 to build a multichain.

What should I do to transfer strings (for example Hello world!) instead of numbers?

Answer 1

You should use the streams functionality for this. A string can be represented in its hexadecimal binary form using an encoding of your choice. Or you can use MultiChain 2.0 alpha 1 which supports strings natively:
