 2 2016-06-24 03:10:12 <veggi3s0> in order to make programs or apps based that derives from the blockchian information, it is called a "side chain" ?
 3 2016-06-24 03:10:23 <veggi3s0> or how would you make an app
 4 2016-06-24 03:10:49 <veggi3s0> a side chain is related to smart contract?
 5 2016-06-24 03:54:51 <pigeons> veggi3s0: a sidechain validates data (like transactions) from the bitcoin blockchain you can read about it here: http://www.blockstream.com/sidechains.pdf and test one here: https://github.com/ElementsProject/elements/tree/alpha
 6 2016-06-24 04:17:48 <veggi3s0> okay thanks
 7 2016-06-24 04:18:33 <veggi3s0> to write a sidechain app or so, you need to know bitcoin op codes right?
 8 2016-06-24 04:18:53 <veggi3s0> bitcoin is made in op codes or what language do these transactions use
 9 2016-06-24 05:57:58 <roasbeef> veggi3s0: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script
10 2016-06-24 16:04:58 <wumpus> a forth dialect
11 2016-06-24 17:31:11 <super3> luke-jr: you around?
12 2016-06-24 22:10:06 <rodarmor> wumpus: It doesn't feel super accurate to say that script is forth-like, after all, the only thing they really have in common is being stack based, right? Or are there other commonalities that I'm missing?
13 2016-06-24 22:45:02 <katu_> rodarmor: there are not many well known languages with explicit stack manipulation except forth, hence the analogy
14 2016-06-24 22:45:57 <katu_> of course its widly inaccurate (could be as well jvm-like or python-like - except those are stack VMs only at VM level, not explicitly written as such in HL syntax)
