The way Bitcoin works is already good, we do not need things such as smart contracts, there are other altcoins that offer that kind of functionality.
You really want to depend on a shitcoin to connect the dots left vacant by bitcoins ?The problem is,merchants probably haven't heard about them.I don't really mind seeing smart contracts implemented as a party of bitcoin project,including a third party dev.Although that does not seem feasible but certainly a topic to think about.
And you can already incorporate messages in your transactions through Blockchain.info and IMO we don't really need that.
That does have a length restriction right ? Don't think it can fit an entire contract.
He wasn't saying to use that for the contract, but for including information like an address.
Asking for donations for an idea that anyone could have thought about, ideas aren't worth anything if you're not willing to make them happen yourself.
If this can be implemented as some external service, fine, no problem. But not as a part of core, and good luck getting that implemented.
Anyway, would still like to see what other people think of the idea.
