Could you point me to some resources showing recently added opcodes?
Last time I looked at the Bitcoin code they had actually disabled some of the original opcodes due to security concerns. I'd be interested to see that this trend had reversed.
- mpeg 10y agoSorry, I should probably edit my comment to say "over the years" and not necessarily recently. I think my point was more that the conservative approach Bitcoin takes works better on the long term, and there's still proposals that slowly get implemented. I first got into Bitcoin in 2011, and since then there's been plenty of new opcodes, and as you say some original ones that got disabled as they presented risks. Latest one I can think of that got implemented would be OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY in 2014/15 (?), but I haven't really kept up with the BIPs that much with all the infighting
