I honestly doubt any judge would had any idea what DSV is, and I doubt ANY computer engineer would describe DSV as anything more than a command in a programming language. ..

.. I don't necessarily agree that pissing them off should be avoided though. I think they will be pissed of anyhow as adoption increases.
replied 1996d
Just to reiterate, I agree that adding DSV bring us closer to pissing them off, but Etherium is already there, and if it wasn't someone would be implementing DSV already in script. ..

.. use-case. Right? And 2) How would they ever enforce this? People in other countries would still run the contract, so the ones affected are effectively banned from using the ..

Well lets say that they can force people to stop running a contract and remove the outputs from the UTXO. 1) This could happen even without DSV if ETH was not around to absord the ..
replied 1996d
How can they go after a single contract? You can't remove stuff from blocks. If they ban anything they will ban the whole platform. Or force people to use blacklists.

.. (if anything) which facilitates the bad use case. Which doesn't bode well for any blockchain as I explained before. But it sounds like a desperate move if they do.
replied 1996d
Also, DSV has valid, legal use-cases as well, like zero-conf forfeits. Which is more reason to believe that they wouldn't ban the native instructions. They would ban the platform ..

I don't think it's an unfair assumption, because I don't think that courts will try to outlaw DSV, they are clueless, they will outlaw a platform that facilitates an illegal use-case.

.. complaining about Silk Road? If they had their way, Silk Road which I bet my ass that was the prime use-case for BTC back then, would have simply used another coin.

.. BSV or BTC or some other coin and those platforms will be equally illegal. The reason why people haven't implemented DSV in script already is because they have easier alternatives..

.. Etherium and BCH would be illegal, sure. But the moment people realize that they cannot legally use those platforms to make contracts, they will simply implement DSV in script on ..

.. It seems far-fetched to me that they would decide that a command in a programming language is illegal. This would set a very weird precedent. Of course nothing would surprise me ..
replied 1997d
Yeah I understand the difference. Someone could claim that you added it when you know that it has illegal uses. But it's literally a command in a programming language. ..

Could you please fix the inconsistency about which part is boxed (the quote or the message) here: https://postimg.cc/qgJFrCRz and https://postimg.cc/zbtF8vtg
replied 1997d
Ryan has made the argument that DSV can already by implemented in script. Sure, the DSV op makes it easier but if someone wants to do illegal stuff, they can do it on SV as well.

phpBB is (usually) threaded (flat) while reddit is a tree of comments. phpBB style is similar to IRC actually if we are limited to short messages like on memo.
