bch-zce VS libauth

Good question. Besides all the usual NFT mumbo jumbo, there are interesting things you can do with smart contracts in the context of everyday money, such as zero-conf escrows.

More; https://github.com/bitjson/bch-zce/issues/19 and https://bitcoincashresearch.org/t/chip-2021-08-zces-zero-confirmation-escrows/537

As for escrows, well, I guess you're just late to the party. https://github.com/bitjson/bch-zce

Not sure the current status of the feature but here is a writeup explaining what it is: https://github.com/bitjson/bch-zce

Your other comment says "Great work" and in the parent comment your opinion is that Taproot is already obsolete. Did you read the ZCE chip and what it states about Taproot?

The question here is whether it creates value. That particular author writing about BCH still creates value. Maybe his thoughts will resonate with some people better than something like this (https://github.com/bitjson/bch-zce). It is exceptional work by an exceptional individual... but someone with an average intelligence won't understand it (I know because I don't understand it fully either :) )...

Note that a smart wallet for Bitcoin-tech doesn't exist, so if you implement a contract, you need to "teach" some wallet how to spend from the template. Dream is to have an universal wallet that can easily import contract templates, things like LibAuth and BitauthIDE were built with that goal, we're getting there!

To craft the transactions you'd also need a library, maybe something like https://libauth.org/ or you could craft the transactions by hand by reading on https://documentation.cash/

I've also written descriptions of all VM operations for Libauth: https://libauth.org/enums/opcodedescriptionscommon.html and https://libauth.org/enums/opcodedescriptionsuniquebch.html

I've been building this "user space" tooling in Libauth (a lightweight, zero-dependency JS/TS library), and I would love to work with anyone interested on building that tooling in other languages/libraries too!
