In the Bitcoin Mainnet, only specific transaction types are accepted:




Bitcoin uses a scripting language to specify (and satisfy) the encumbrances, thereby allowing a whole host of transaction types. Although many transaction types can be represented in the scripting language, only a limited number of standard transaction types are actually accepted by the network and the miners. (source)




What is the point of equipping Bitcoin with a scripting language, while only accepting a pre-defined set of transaction types? What harm could be caused to the network by accepting valid transactions with an arbitrary locking script?

                    Aasi (pallopeli) Navigointivalikko

                    PallopelitLeikit pallolla Aasi on yksinkertainen pallolla pelattava pallopeli, joka toimii lasten ja nuorten ajanvietteenä. Peliin tarvitaan pallo ja kolme pelaajaa. Kaksi pelaajaa ovat kaukana toisistaan (noin 10m) ja kolmas pelaaja on heidän keskellään. Kaukaisimmat pelaajat heittelevät palloa keskenään, ja keskimmäinen pelaaja, aasi, yrittää siepata pallon itselleen. Jos aasi saa pallon kiinni, hän pääsee sen pelaajan paikalle joka heitti pallon. Tämä peli esiintyy myös nimillä Piimä , Mummonkiusaus ja Kala . lähde? Aasi on myös nimitys toiselle pallopelille. Peliin tarvitaan vähintään kaksi pelaajaa sekä pallo. Pelaajat päättävät järjestyksen, jossa pelaajat potkaisevat palloa jotain päin (esim. seinää). Kukin pelaaja potkaisee vuorollaan palloa, ja häviäjä on se, joka saa ensin sanan AASI. Kirjaimia saa sillä, että osuu palloon potkaisun jälkeen. Esim. Ville, Heikki ja Kalle pelaavat aasia. Ville potkaisee palloa, ja sitten on Heikin vuoro, mutta Ville osuu palloon ennen kuin
