Hi Joe,
Happy to see engagement in evolving wallet systems. Unfortunately, BIP39 was
devised precisely to avoid users picking their own phrases, as that is
extremely insecure and cannot be expected to generate sufficient entropy to
protect coins. Humans are inherently bad sources of randomness
Hello Robin,
I'm very interested in this development, as I've been longing for arbitrary
smart contracts on bitcoin for a while. I've got a couple questions I'd like to
ask, on behalf of myself and some others I've been discussing this with.
1. Do you have plans to implement a high-level langua
It is important to also note that proof of secret key schemes are highly data
inefficient and likely would have a higher cost for users than simply allowing
arbitrary data to continue. In ECDSA, purposely re-using k values allows you to
encode data in both k and the entire secret key, as both be
Hi Antoine,
It is important to consider that miners are not always incentivized by what
brings them the most profit in the moment, but also their long-term prospects.
If they begin participating in transaction censorship, they open the
possibility of reducing the value of the coins they mine an

Hey Dan,
Very interested in such a protocol finally becoming standardized. Quick little
nit I noticed as well, are you sure base64 encoding is the best choice for the
psk in the URI? You may find that having to urlencode the special characters in
base64 it impacts readability and adds a layer o
Transactions should be considered segwit if they match the witness program
structure of "A scriptPubKey (or redeemScript as defined in BIP16/P2SH) that
consists of a 1-byte push opcode (for 0 to 16) followed by a data push between
2 and 40 bytes" as defined in
