Subject: Re: [bitcoin-dev] Safer NOINPUT with output tagging
Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2019 20:24:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201902192024.13243.luke@dashjr.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <B58087BD-50F2-40DF-BDF0-8D1FDFDCDE03@xbt.hk>

Even besides NOINPUT, such a wallet would simply never show a second payment 
to the same address (or at least never show it as confirmed, until 
successfully spent).

At least if tx versions are used, it isn't possible to indicate this 
requirement in current Bitcoin L1 addresses. scriptPubKey might not be 
impossible to encode, but it isn't really clear what the purpose of doing so 
is.

If people don't want to use NOINPUT, they should just not use it. Trying to 
implement a nanny in the protocol is inappropriate and limits what developers 
can do who actually want the features.
