Cryptographic Oracle-Based Conditional Payments

[bonomat]

This is a research task.
@LLFourn's novel idea of having a programmable third party could simplify our DLC setup.

The point I'm most interested in is:

• speed: BLS signature scheme is faster than what we have right now
• no expiry: given the proposed computing service allows for arbitrary computing, we will be able to get rid of expiry's in the DLCs. This alone could be super useful as users don't have to come online to keep their position open.

This is a research task:

• we should check with @LLFourn about his plans with https://github.com/carol-computer/carol?
• think through and write up the implications of this new oracle approach
• write a PoC
• write a plan of attack on how to integrate this into rust-dlc

This is a research task. @LLFourn's novel idea of having a programmable third party could simplify our DLC setup.

The point I'm most interested in is:

* speed: BLS signature scheme is faster than what we have right now

* no expiry: given the proposed _computing service_ allows for arbitrary computing, we will be able to get rid of expiry's in the DLCs. This alone could be super useful as users don't have to come online to keep their position open.

Really looking forward to figuring this out. Whenever one of you guys has time we can put the oracle code down in detail to see what we can come up with to avoid the liquidations logic going into the client.
