Serious question - how do blockchain contracts enforce real world constraints?
Say I sell you some rope and as part of our contract I say that it shouldn't be used to execute people and you go and use it to hang someone.
How would you even go about expressing that in the world of a blockchain?
How does the blockchain world get to know that you have broken your side of the contract.
How does a blockchain contract enforce penalties for breaking a contract?
