🗒️ Conversation Summary: The proposal suggests adding a third "codehash" stack to the scripting engine, with a new OP_CODEHASH operator, to enable send-to-script addresses. OP_EVAL makes the script language Turing complete, with no limit on recursion depth, allowing arbitrary computation and looping. There are concerns about the potential risks of implementing new functionality in Bitcoin, urging caution and prioritizing security over pride.
