Non-repudiation is an intrinsic property of the ECDSA signatures which Bitcoin uses - it's not a feature that needs to be built. There's no way to accidentally sign a transaction and accidentally announce it publicly. There is no form of third-party error that can result in a payee receiving an erroneous contract. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVhfkXAAoJECpf2nDq2eYjTwIP/ApsURTKJgAsSYb4/lvoujAE EhOUBfmb+WkrEceASWGgmXFfQBQW7c99sT46cA1HdCPLZMtYhZYPubtYRouSupfF vOfeKLsZsUXCadeLuzxP7av3PJhmvB1CO1Rv8CLBQptKUFkzyM3CypBviNTy33X6 KL2zyAMERpCVOejg7MSP3IUXIjgG1ayEm+mzwqi4j2Ms0h+oT6I/krAKV0J9SwJC PtLq/JRRriVtb2FE+biEqYRYfeOcZDYNbr+/y0HPtqqMxg6azNwx1z2aG5A+ziCd EvVqVJXU3TAINQdIvVS4ACF1J+ttMJ99r8VW0yN7o3fEckuRr3pyymx4I+XExSX5 ujflqadRGUS8ZenUPTPUbLfhARnmBwLM94L+xiQvIwiinxxtOKn3WW1oDv9FNp0l 99fkv9mbV5RnYlkMfWMn2AcwcBv7TSgpFGsZY4wBn/mgFh1PotGc2tA5kU79cz8R +F/k49+GwfgTPML7UhIGtjQjPreeqDyHNtv9XHtyp8LF5vO1na4oHSO6SeU4rIXH 4oIjw+Q6X/2L/fp8QNLB+onmKWobcl1Ec+0H+ZfQBujtew5BHFwcPwFmlC4tofiJ 7r8QjoPsRhJmaxm+MJOK/BIzhZErkMz26AQ/tfY4jtJCuLbEDdMLtC9hYVuiDHIb HBxxif83dALjX1Sgid66 =o9dG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
