Hi all!
I've been thinking a lot about how to add the benefits that lightning
provides in terms of privacy and speed to the smart contracts unchained
setup. The high-level idea is to utilize the fact that a lightning channel
already has on-chain funds locked up, and if parties cooperate, some of

Good morning Nadav,
Yes, transporting contracts over a single direct channel is always possible.
When Lightning switches to Decker-Russell-Osuntokun ("eltoo"), do note that
contracts with an absolute timelock must be forced onchain earlier than the
absolute timelock by the CSV requirement of th
Hi,
I took the example of colored coins because you quoted ethereum and like
most of ethereum tokens most of them reflect something coming from
nowhere, worse I can send you 10K Tethers if you like that of course
will not be validated by the central system but will be recorded in
bitcoin blockchai

Hi,
Apparently you are not a fan of ethereum, as far as I can tell ethereum
sidechains look like a mess with stupid tokens/transactions flooding the
network while they are completely centralized, but some bitcoin
sidechains can easily compete with this too, like Tether, don't even

Building from this ---
It is possible via this mechanism for the federation to be selected by the
participants, rather than the federation being defined as a fixed set by the
smart contract platform.
Perhaps anyone can advertise themselves (by e.g. locking some bonded amount on

It is still possible to recover the funds, *if* you can convince all
participants of some "fair" distribution of the funds.
You do this by all participants simply signing with their participant keys and
taking the firs
What if the smart contract platform(s) disappear?
The proposal induces a very centralized system, to my knowledge all of
existing sidechains whether on bitcoin or ethereum are centralized,
except lightning (if we forget that someone must watch what others are

One thing that seems not mentioned in bit-thereum is the "as long as everybody

Hello ZmnSCPxj
I like the proposal because it generalizes escrow type mechanisms and I think
it's a useful train of thought for distributed exchanges.
However, consider the situation where a group of participants are playing
poker. One participant loses all their funds and decides to present to
Hi ZmnSCPxj,
Thought provoking, thank you!
Something I dislike in the scheme, that one could not tell which party colluded
with the escrow agent.

Smart contracts have traditionally been implemented as part of the consensus
rules of some blokchain. Often this means creating a new blockchain, or at
least a sidechain to an existing blockchain. This writeup proposes an
alternative method wi
