		Rauchg on May 18, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ethereum Contracts Are Going to Be Candy for Hacke... ICYMI: Bitcoin will gain Turing-completeness via a merge-mined sidechain called Rootstock (http://www.rootstock.io/), that also offers a transaction throughput boost (300TPS right off the bat). I highly recommend their whitepaper as it's also a great overview of the Blockchain ecosystem as a whole.

From reading their site, it sounds like you expose yourself to massive counterparty risk using this, as a "federation" is holding your bitcoins.
