If I want to talk about smart contracts do you think I have to go to altcoin discussion?
Isn't that going to be more technologically practical on bitcoin (rather than an alt) after the implementation of Seg wit?
We've been together long enough now that you should know technical question are beyond my ken, as it were. But I think CLTV is a more important feature for smart contract type thingys. I made
a thread about it that got shuffled around a lot. Feel free to contribute.
I also made
a thread about criminal smart contracts. No ideas so far.
I don't really know too much about some of the technical applications either, so I rely on various representations from others.
I made my earlier post because I thought that some credible technical people (I cannot recall exactly where I saw it) were asserting that segwit brings a lot to the table, including (hypothetically) making it more feasible to absorb ethereum as a side-chain (if that were a potential goal of bitcoin to add such utility).
Anyhow, I thought that seg wit, to some extent, allowed the separation of some of the more secure (financial) aspects of bitcoin from the aspects of bitcoin that is not as necessary to be so secured in an immediate way... thus some smart contracts etc could be on the non financial side of bitcoin's chain, once seg wit is implemented and various technical bridges are built upon it.
I will look at your threads, too. I'm not sure about today, because I have some valentine (whatever) obligations that may distract me a bit from getting to it. hahahaha
@ BMB - whether I understand the various points of your above two thread creations or not, I did make a commentary post on the first thread that you referenced above.
Certainly, a lot of us remain challenged in various technical applications of bitcoin, and that is what makes bitcoin so challenging, interesting and likely world changing to recognize some ways in which our world has been ROCKED and will continue to be rocked by these various inventions and innovative attempts at applying bitcoin to world interactions.
hahahaha.. you, BMB, also seem to be a bit of a humble bumble because even though you claim to not understand anything technical about bitcoin, it does require some technical knowledge to ask some of these various technical questions and to identify some of the ongoing technical challenges underpinning various bitcoin application discussions.
