In the below transaction I know why the scripts are needed. The question I have is why can't you just do something like:
input_txid + output_txid + HASH160(pubkey) + amount + fee + signature(input_txid + output_txid + HASH160(pubkey) + amount + fee)
Hoping for some input, good or bad.
Scripts allow you to do other things since they specify how you that output can be spent. Those allow special nonstandard transactions for both experimenting and creating more features. input_txid + output_txid + HASH160(pubkey) + amount + fee + signature(input_txid + output_txid + HASH160(pubkey) + amount + fee)
Hoping for some input, good or bad.
