Title: Scripting? Post by: interfect on June 04, 2011, 03:32:48 AM Any news on when the fancy transaction scripting features that Bitcoin is supposed to have will be coming online?

That's live. Title: Re: Scripting? Post by: ene on June 04, 2011, 04:52:18 PM There are currently only two scripts allowed in transactions. You want more
As soon as somebody codes a use for it in the standard bitcoin client, discusses it here, tests it out on the testnet and makes a pull request. Otherwise you will have to send special transactions to a special miner and pay a fee, lest they never be included in a block. And of course your receiver will need a special version of the bitcoin software to redeem the transaction. Title: Re: Scripting?

Meaning you need both a miner/pool like Luke's that accepts them as well as a direct connection there. Title: Re: Scripting?
