Justus,

We don=E2=80=99t even have a concept of identity in the Bitcoin =
protocol, let alone non-repudiation. What good is non-repudiation if =
there=E2=80=99s no way to even associate a signature with a legal =
entity?

Sure, we could use the ECDSA signatures in transactions as part of a =
non-repudiation scheme - but the recipient would have to also have a =
means to establish the identity of the sender and associate it with the =
the transaction.


Furthermore, in light of the fact that there *are* fully legitimate use =
cases for sending conflicting transactions=E2=80=A6and the fact that =
determination of intent isn=E2=80=99t always entirely clear=E2=80=A6we =
should refrain from attaching any further significance transaction =
signatures other than that =E2=80=9Cthe sender was willing to have it =
included in the blockchain if a miner were to have seen it and accepted =
it=E2=80=A6but perhaps the sender would have changed their mind before =
it actually did get accepted.=E2=80=9D
