Description

The blockchain will be adding the ability to assign a value to supports. This will allow us store metadata along with supports, including channel signing. The type should be flexible to support multiple use cases.

Use case ideas:
Reposting content(https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/issues/2028)
Commenting (with/without tips)
Ratings
Community tagging
Blockchain based subscriptions

Research direction

No file or test is named.

Done when a flexible representation is agreed and its compatibility across supported languages is defined.
