sBTC: Design of a Trustless Two-way Peg for Bitcoin

cointastical

Is it possible that you are not considering changes coming for Stacks that you are not considering?  I'm (mostly) just a messenger here, as this crossed my feed and thought it worthy of being shared.  But this seems to be an improvement over the Stacks that I've read about previously.

> In this paper, we present a trustless two-way Bitcoin peg system. Unlike earlier approaches where a fixed federation or federation of multisig wallets needs to be trusted by users, this new approach has economic security through an open-membership and dynamic set of signatories. Further, users don't pay any fees when moving their BTC in and out of the Bitcoin layer and the dynamic set of signatories are rewarded in BTC for their work by the consensus protocol.
