# Redeemable Certificate Contract spec
A generic redeemable certification contract that records certification information as well as forms of evidence and validations which  can be interacted with by redeemers that seek to reward the reciepent for the certificate. In effect this certificate can act as it's own ledgar - and used by marketplace applications that connect rewarders with certificate holders.

# Example 
After completing an online course the course creator issues a Certificate to the student. 
The student can accept the certificate by signing it. The student can also delete it. 
The details of the cert can include the course topics, as well as any txhashes or other data references.
A optional value in some currency can be placed on the certificate – this can be based on the duration of the course, cost of internet and so on.
Anyone can redeem the Cert. Say a business offered the receiver a voucher for their store with a stated value in come currency. If the receiver does an AcceptRedemption the value of the redemption will be removed from the AmountNotRecieved. And future redeemers can see what value is remaining on the Cert.

# Usages
* Personal Data: ex. Certifying that the recipent is a mother.
* Enviromental Data: ex. Certifying that the recipent is a farmer who is mulching their land or using regnerative practices. Soil quality testing etc.
* Transactional Data: ex. Certifying that the recipent is paying for school fees. The school could be a validator. If using CIC the transaction hashes themselves could add evidence.
