I don't think Satoshi realized it, and I think if he did Bitcoin Script would be very different from what we have. @p{par} In a future ideal world where arbitrary zero-knowledge-proofs are time-tested and have robust implementations, everybody except for the N entities directly involved in a transaction would validate a short, opaque proof that some computation took place authorizing the transaction. @p{par} If you're designing a better transaction system, you should design with that ideal in mind. @p{brk}
