Thanks Martin. And here’s the direct link to the piece on github for cataloguing purposes/if anyone wants to read it him/herself: High Level Design Patterns In Extended UTXO Systems

Very cool ideas… A little confused how the last one (“outsourced computation”) would work. Can you give more details, maybe using a real world example of such a computation?

Any case where you need a prolonged central state can utilize outsourced computation. So for example, a leaderboard of sorts for the RPS example could utilize this design pattern to have a central UTXO which keeps track of the state of the leaderboard, but multiple people can start a RPS match by spending the leaderboard and create a new UTXO which starts the RPS protocol. This could be useful if for example collateral or a fee payment is required to take part in the leaderboard. This is obviously a rather arbitrary example, but it’s the most relevant example to the document itself.
