Good morning Mike,

Hard NAK.

The responses to the original posting already pointed out important problem=
s with this:

* Encourages address reuse, hurting fungibility and privacy.
* Prevents pruning, since access to previous blocks must always be availabl=
e in order to validate.
* Optimized implementation requires creating yet another index to previous =
block data, increasing requirements on fullnodes.
* Requires SCRIPT to be re-evaluated on transactions arriving in  newblocks=
, to protect against reorgs of the chaintip, and in particular `OP_PUBREF` =
references to near the chaintip.

None of these issues have been addressed in your current proposal.
The proposal looks at clients only, without considering what validators hav=
e to implement in order to validate new blocks with this opcode.

Regards,
ZmnSCPxj
