Opcodes and interpreters

There’s a lot of discussion concerning the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network hard fork coming this November. One of the topics is an implementation called OP_Checkdatasig (CDS) that’s been added to the Bitcoin ABC clients’ roadmap and codebase. Basically, CDS is an opcode that could theoretically enhance the BCH protocol’s scripting ability. When Satoshi created bitcoin, the software included a scripting system much like the programmable language Forth. In addition to the scripting, the codebase also included script words otherwise known as ‘opcodes.’ There are quite a few opcodes and all of them do various commands or binary functions but most of them were disabled long ago.

They are discussing a web based interpretive transaction.  We will do this in our smart card, so give us the top ten, or the top ten SWIFT, or the top ten Ripple.    Put the ten in a secure, embedded processor in the card.  The list must support a variety of ledger systems. The card then looks like a standard investment  Shopping with Walmart is me and the clerk, behind us we both have the same investment bank watching our bacvks. bank in the peer to peer network.
