I support CTV and CSFS because it will help hodlers have vaults (aka reactive security) and help decentralzing mining payouts (payment pools and channels)

Discussion

CTV remains the only covenant proposal I'd feel ok about. Haven't seen enough discussion about anything else.

CheckSigFromStack takes three parameters from the stack. Pubkey, message, signature. Evaluates to true if the sig is valid over the message for the pubkey.

A simple primitive that is foundational in most cryptography, iiuc.

I'm gonna need AI to ELI5

How can CTV or CFFS be used against hodlers and the original Bitcoin ethos? As all great things can be used for good and bad… are the people championing this change thinking long and hard about how it can be used for bad and trying to mitigate the bad? Or at least explain how it can be used for bad so users are prepared and know what to look for? Or is it really that safe that there aren’t any practical risks to hodlers when they’re ready to be spenders? I’m sure this discussion is scattered around the internet but maybe you can give your thoughts from what you’ve seen so far? I lean towards leaving it out… at the risk of it being even harder to implement later, after it’s proven to be net good.
