        // All of these are instant spend outputs that have no maturity wait time and may be spent in the same block.
        //
        // 1. (required) currency state - current state of currency supply and optionally reserve, premine, etc. This is primarily a data output to provide
        //    cross check for coin minting and burning operations, making it efficient to determine up-to-date supply, reserves, and conversions. To provide
        //    an extra level of supply cross-checking and fast data retrieval, this is part of all PBaaS chains' protocol, not just reserves.
        //    This output also includes reserve and native amounts for total conversions, less fees, of any conversions between Verus reserve and the
        //    native currency.
        //
        // 2. (block 1 required) chain definition - in order to confirm the amount of coins converted and issued within the possible range, before chain start,
        //    new PBaaS chains have a zero-amount, unspendable chain definition output.
        //
        // 3. (block 1 optional) initial import utxo - for any chain with conversion or pre-conversion, the first coinbase must include an initial import utxo. 
        //    Pre-conversions are handled on the launch chain before the PBaaS chain starts, so they are an additional output, which begins
        //    as a fixed amount and is spent with as many outputs as necessary to the recipients of the pre-conversion transactions when those pre-conversions
        //    are imported. All pre-converted outputs get their source currency from a thread that starts with this output in block 1.
        //
        // 4. (block 1 optional) initial export utxo - reserve chains, or any chain that will use exports to another chain must have an initial export utxo, any chain
        //    may have one, but currently, they can only be spent with valid exports, which only occur on reserve chains
        //
        // 5. (optional) notarization output - in order to ensure that notarization can occur independent of the availability of fungible
        //    coins on the network, and also that the notarization can provide a spendable finalization output and possible reward
        //
        // In addition, each PBaaS block can be mined with optional, fee-generating transactions. Inporting transactions from the reserve chain or sending
        // exported transactions to the reserve chain are optional fee-generating steps that would be easy to do when running multiple daemons.
        // The types of transactions miners/stakers may facilitate or create for fees are as follows:
        //
        // 1. Earned notarization of Verus chain - spends the notarization instant out. must be present and spend the notarization output if there is a notarization output
        //
        // 2. Imported transactions from the export thread for this PBaaS chain on the Verus blockchain - imported transactions must spend the import utxo
        //    thread, represent the export from the alternate chain which spends the export output from the prior import transaction, carry a notary proof, and
        //    include outputs that map to each of its inputs on the source chain. Outputs can include unconverted reserve outputs only on fractional
        //    reserve chains, pre-converted outputs for any chain with launch conversion, and post launch outputs to be converted on fractional reserve
        //    chains. Each are handled in the following way:
        //      a. Unconverted outputs are left as outputs to the intended destination of Verus reserve token and do not pass through the coinbase
        //      b. Pre-converted outputs require that the import transaction spend the last pre-conversion output starting at block 1 as the source for
        //         pre-converted currency.
        //
        // 3. Zero or more aggregated exports that combine individual cross-chain transactions and reserve transfer outputs for export to the Verus chain. 
        //
        // 4. Conversion distribution transactions for all native and reserve currency conversions, including reserve transfer outputs without conversion as
        //    a second step for reserve transfers that have conversion included. Any remaining pre-converted reserve must always remain in a change output
