it sounds fascinating

guy is based
he's not wrong
It's something that should be taken into consideration
What's stopping someone from putting high bounty hitman contracts out there

Who wouldn't be? No more need for a police state. We will police ourselves.

AND ORACLES FOR UNDERAGE GIRLS LMFAO
I CANT
THIS TIMELINE IS TOO MUCH

this one was a nothing friend
He said 18 year old girl for his example but it was simply an example of using oracles for decentralized identity
For things like cigarettes or buying alcohol

This guy has no idea how to do business. You think any legitimate company would want to partner with link after hearing that?

theres in depth talks out there on youtube of ari juels talking in depth about assassination contracts and the implications. he has been thinking through the issue for a while now. it's an important issue in terms of the early design of these systems from a theoretical perspective. it's good that he is thinking about it in depth and talking about it, it shows he's intellectually serious about smart contracts actually becoming something huge because this is a real problem that needs to be addressed if/when they do.

you all realize we could literally pull together bounties to kill anyone.
wtf is this timeline

>Thanks to their anonymity (pseudonymity) and elimination of trusted intermediaries, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have created or stimulated growth in many businesses and communities. Unfortunately, some of these are criminal, e.g., money laundering, illicit marketplaces, and ransomware.
>Next-generation cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum will include rich scripting languages in support of {\em smart contracts}, programs that autonomously intermediate transactions. In this paper, we explore the risk of smart contracts fueling new criminal ecosystems. Specifically, we show how what we call {\em criminal smart contracts} (CSCs) can facilitate leakage of confidential information, theft of cryptographic keys, and various real-world crimes (murder, arson, terrorism).
>We show that CSCs for leakage of secrets (à la Wikileaks) are efficiently realizable in existing scripting languages such as that in Ethereum. We show that CSCs for theft of cryptographic keys can be achieved using primitives, such as Succinct Non-interactive ARguments of Knowledge (SNARKs), that are already expressible in these languages and for which efficient supporting language extensions are anticipated. We show similarly that authenticated data feeds, an emerging feature of smart contract systems, can facilitate CSCs for real-world crimes (e.g., property crimes).
>Our results highlight the urgency of creating policy and technical safeguards against CSCs in order to realize the promise of smart contracts for beneficial goals.
