Are there actually any OP_CAT scripts currently in the utxo set? It's one thing to have a theoretical scripting ability that gets removed before anyone actually uses it - that doesn't put anyone in the position of retroactively making decisions about the validity of someone else's money. Presently the utxo set is about $5 billion worth of other people's money. It's a lot easier to justify the position: "nobody has the right to change the meaning of someone else's outputs", than it is to justify, "some small group of people gets to decide what's standard and what isn't, and if you choose to use the network in a valid but nonstandard way, that group of people might choose to deny you access to your money in the future" In other words, how close to the shores of "administrators of a virtual currency" do Bitcoin developers want to sail? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
