My mind boggles at the possibilities this BTC-oracle opens up:

Shocked

What the fuck. Shocked

Now a merchant-bot can accept payments in BTC, and a BTC-to-Bytes or Blackbytes exchange can be implemented, and everything the peers would agree to trust is a third-party run btc-oracle.

Its even possible to have a merchantbot accept payments in btc or bytes/blackbytes, and deliver "goods" when either of these payment options are received. The best part is the merchantbot doesnt have to run its own bitcoin-node, it can just listen to btc-oracle.

Is there a plan to have a ethereum-oracle?

Such oracles are an overkill. If we trust witnesses then we can trust data published by them. And no Merkle magic needed for that.
