Dangerous to whom?
replied 2205d
Dangerous to your coin. Since these new opcodes directly enable oracles, the coin is vulnerable to regulatory attacks. The value of coins is then at stake.

It is not my coin: it is *our* coin

Enabling oracles does not require their usage: I do not see how an attack on that vector would succeed.

The value of coins is always at stake.

- Our, yours, mine, same.
- Not that different to how EtherDelta went down and SatoshiDice
- The bigger the danger, the lesser the coin value

It is very different. If you send coins to a regulated (read junk) exchange, you may get junk (read regulated) coins back. OP_CHECKDATASIGVERIFY Et al. enables unregulated exchanges.

Here you go. I prefer worldwide expansion to constant fights with regulators. Also it brings back the stigma that bitcoin is for illegal activities. This lowers the price. No thanks.

and *that* is dangerous part.
