[bitcoin-dev] OP_CHECKHARDFORKVERIFY - replay protection and fork futures on off-chain payment channels

2017-11-10 Thread ZmnSCPxj via bitcoin-dev
Good morning list, I would like to speculate on the addition of an opcode which would provide replay protection and allow chain-backed trustless creation of hardfork futures payment channels. Note however that in order to work, the hardfork must "cooperate" by changing the operation of OP_CHEC

I guess I wasn't clear on the wildcard, `nForkId=0` This proposal puts Bitcoin at `nForkId=1`, with the purpose of having `nForkId=0` valid on *all* future forks. This means you can create a `nLockTime` transaction, delete the private key and still be assured to not lose potential future tokens
