If you like living on the edge these days: "Malleable Operations" Wink

Indeed - btw - after some consideration the "use case" of the "dividend" doesn't actually seem to be a very good use case for scripting anyway (it could be done more efficiently with a special "pay to many" tx type).

So we are interested in some better use cases - a couple of ideas we have so far are:

1) A "lotto" in which the script contains the "hash" of a secret. People send funds to the script and then when the secret is revealed the funds are sent to the tx whose hash (or time stamp or combination) is closest.

2) A "dead man's switch" savings account that will send your funds to another account if you don't instruct it otherwise (say once per year).

Perhaps we could come up with something better than these as a more "compelling" use case to justify why we want to create such a script system?
