Your list of advantages is right, and I'm even more interested in the use of this technology to monetize other P2P services and meshnets without needing to create new currencies.
interesting. could you elaborate on this point? I think cryptocurrencies and meshnets have several overlaps as you indicate.
I wrote a
blog post about this back in August.
I've got a busy week at work and then I'm giving a Bitcoin talk to a local LUG but after that, I'm going to write up a new way to use this same contract structure for both decentralized inter-currency off-chain payments and for decentralized derivatives markets.
