My current stance on #BIP300 and #BIP301 for #Drivechains is that I’m not convinced this is the “best way” to achieve “blind” escrow and Blond-Merge-Mining.
I don’t really care if people want to run drivechains; Bitcoin is freedom money so they probably should be able to, even if I and others think it’s dumb.
But it should probably be a net-gain for Bitcoin and have more uses than one
We only have so many NOPs left to soft-fork with, every new thing needing it’s own specific soft-fork isn’t sustainable
CISC vs RISC
We can’t really anticipate all possible transaction types and have templates for them all, which is why Bitcoin script exists, to provide powerful composable primitives that enable as many different uses as possible
