This is somewhat problematic in my use case since some parts need to be in the chain earlier than others and have the same ID as expected. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260898.10 I haven't gone back to see if there are any ways around it, but the main problem here is I need the Contract TX to be in the chain much earlier than redeeming, but I need the refund transaction to be in the chain much earlier. Perhaps there are some tricks to pull off to get it to work, but I haven't been working on this for a while so I'm a bit rusty in that area. This might be helpful enough to help a lot of use cases, but shouldn't be final. -Allen On Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 6:22 PM, Natanael wrote: > Regarding chains of transactions intended to be published at once > together, wouldn't it be easier to add a "only-mine-with-child flag"? > > That way the parent transactions aren't actually valid unless spent > together with the transaction that depends on it, and only the original > will have a child referencing it. > > Then malleability is not an issue at all for transaction chains if you > only need to broadcast your full transaction chain once, and don't need to > extend it in two or more occasions, *after* broadcasting subchains to the > network, from the same set of pregenerated transactions. > > If you need to broadcast pregenerated subchains separately, then you need > the last child in the chain to be non-malleable. > > This would require all miners to start to respect it at once in order to > avoid forking the network. > > - Sent from my phone > Den 19 feb 2014 22:13 skrev "Pieter Wuille" : > > On Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 9:28 PM, Michael Gronager >> wrote: >> > I think that we could guarantee fewer incidents by making version 1 >> transactions unmalleable and then optionally introduce a version 3 that >> supported the malleability feature.
