MachuPikacchu on Nostr: There doesn’t seem to be a compelling use case for any of the proposed soft forks ...
There doesn’t seem to be a compelling use case for any of the proposed soft forks that can’t be done otherwise. Or at least not for the majority of us.
Covenants are nice and all, but they’re not strictly necessary to be on chain. With advances in fully homomorphic encryption we can lock up sats off chain in arbitrarily complex scripts and publish publicly for anyone to execute and claim a fee. That’s a vague idea of how to get covenants without a fork.
