gollark: I mean... yes, but ææææ?
gollark: It would be limited to 100ms of CPU per event or something, but you could have people trigger events and such too much.
gollark: Actually, hmm, people could maliciously invoke it a lot, but I suppose they would have to give it money so I'm not sure that's an awful issue.
gollark: So the "contract" would basically be a sandboxed bit of code which can be triggered on events, which is publicly viewable/auditable, and which can send and be sent krist.
gollark: Maybe I should try and clarify the exact model of this a bit, hm.
