04:20 < yancy> instead of relying on a the reference impl, I meant that there would be a test harness that is implemented instead.  Then test binary in languate A is the same as binary in language B if for all inputs the binarys provide the exact same outputs.  Although maybe this is impossible for something like consensus if the inputs and outputs are infinite or not well defined.
05:27 < andytoshi> yeah, the problem is that they're infinite
05:27 < andytoshi> you can use the entire blockchain, and testnet, as a test harness
05:28 < andytoshi> and it won't be enough
05:28 < andytoshi> even though every historic consensus fault in bitcoin-ruby, btcd, etc., has been tested there
