When you send Bitcoin you can add an asset along at virtually no cost.

I just sent 8 mBTC and added some GOLDTICKET to op\_return. View on [Blocktrail](https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/bc68f8ca0936f66b3a7556605e611749ea101f66de324fea2e2bd75ec63e7764). The transaction was a humble 264 bytes. Scroll to bottom of page to see Counterparty info.

Actually, this is not something advanced at all. Every Counterparty transfer adds some Bitcoin dust. You simply choose a larger BTC amount.

Vending machines and exchanges can add a coupon to their Bitcoin payouts. Since there’s literally no cost to doing this, and coupons are common in the physical world, I don’t see why it shouldn’t catch on also in crypto.
