+  PIP: PIP-0043
+  Title: Update OP_RECOVER to recover only non used, not named PASA's
+  Type: Protocol
+  Impact: Hard-Fork

+  Status: Proposed

+</pre>
+
+## Summary
+
+Update current OP_RECOVER operation in order to have a similar sense as described on [Original PascalCoin WhitePaper published on July 2016][1] few weeks before Genesis Block and also a community poll made on discord channel 
+
+## Motivation
+
+OP_RECOVER feature was defined on original PascalCoin Whitepaper published on July 2016 as a way to allow recover coins that has lost private key. 
+
+**PascalCoin WhitePaper:** 
+```
+PascalCoin proposes an alternative to the basic operation of Bitcoin, through which change
+several aspects for working on the new virtual currency:
+...
+  - PascalCoin provides a method set by protocol to retrieve coins that are not used
+    instead (lost key). This method only applies if after a certain time the owner does not
+    make any operation with the account private key.
+...
+(Page 2/8)
+```
+
+Basically was a way to mantain a constant and predectible usage of inflation and available coin because burning coins are not possible. 
+
+Current problem is that WhitePaper definition is ambiguous and **certain time** was not specified, initial source code proposal was to **set a time value = 4 years** (420480 blocks in PascalCoin) 
+
+Another problem is that WhitePaper was mixing coins (**PASC**) and accounts (**PASA**), because what is necessary in PascalCoin is an Account (aka PASA), so we can focus on recover PASA instead of recover coins inside PASA
+
+## Proposal
+
+This PIP specifies a more accurated OP_RECOVER that was discussed on Discord Channel
+
+See poll results: https://discordapp.com/channels/383064643482025984/391780165669093377/719437469329915945
