Good morning Eric,


> > and thanks to you and ZmnSCPxj we now have two additional uses cases fo=
r UTXOs that are only temporarily accessible to their current owner.
>
> Actually you have a single potentially-valid use case, the one I have pre=
sented. The others I have shown to be invalid (apart from scamming) and no =
additional information to demonstrate errors in my conclusions have been of=
fered.

I presented another use case, that of the "Bitcoin Classified Ads Network".
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2019-July/017083.ht=
ml

Advertisements are "backed" by an unspent TXO.
In order to limit their local resource consumption, nodes of this network w=
ill preferentially keep advertisements that are backed by higher UTXO value=
s divided by advertisement size, and drop those with too low UTXO value div=
ided by advertisement size.

Thus, spammers will either need to rent larger UTXO values for their spam, =
paying for the higher rent involved, or fall back to pre-Bitcoin spamming m=
ethods.
Thus I think I have presented a use-case that is viable for this and does n=
ot simply devolve to "just burn a 1-satoshi output".

I still do not quite support generalized covenants as the use-case is alrea=
dy possible on current Bitcoin (and given that with just a little more tran=
saction introspection this enables Turing-completeness), but the basic conc=
ept of "renting a UTXO of substantial value" appears sound to me.


Regards,
ZmnSCPxj
