Simple (though not really simple) question:
If a distributed acyclic graph currency had nodes, would it theoretically be possible to build in the inclusion of smart contracts similar to Ethereum's?
I realize that this would require some form of storage (i.e. blockchain), but couldn't a public ledger (similar to a blockchain) be built into the process of running a node?
Example: peer to peer currency exchange occurs (creating a chain of transactions verified by each other), and this chain is periodically sucked up into a node, which adds the data to a ledger. within these transactions, there could very well be code for a smart contract, which would then be run/applied/etc.
Is this possible, or am I talking about something that I don't understand well enough?
