OK, your second

I think it would be useful to classify systems w.r.t. what data is
available to condition.
I imagine it mig
Hi Peter,
I didn't entirely understand the process of transaction linearization.
What I see is a potential process where when the miner assembles the block,
he strips all but one sigscript per tx. The selection of which sigscript
is retained is determined by the random oracle. Is this is primar
Bitcoin could embed a lisp interpreter such as Scheme, reverse engineer
the current protocol into lisp (inside C++), run this alternative engine
alongside the current one as an option for some years (only for fine
tuning) then eventually fade this lisp written validation code instead
of the current
In light of Ethereum's recent problems with its imperative, account-based,
programming model, I thought I'd do a quick writeup outlining the building
blocks of the state-machine approach to so-called "smart contract" systems, an
extension of Bitcoin's own design that I personally have been developi
