New forum category for Contract scripting?

mode80

Can we have a new category for contract scripting? (Contract coding in EVM, LLL, CLL etc)

This seems substantially different than client "Code and Builds".

I've renamed 'services and decentralized applications' to 'Smart Contracts'. I've moved the tutorial list appropriately, too.

That's a better name for that category but it looks to be high level discussion about smart contracts in general. I think the forum would benefit from a category specifically about smart contract Coding.

In particular a place for this kind of post:
http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/635/is-mktx-broken

I expect there will be more technical discussion of this nature as more people experiment with LLL, CLL, EVM-code and the like.

I agree. I would prefer two distinct categories:

First, high-level smart contract stuff, DApp designs, theory, economics, etc... eg: "How can we create a currency exchange contract which supports trading other crypto-currencies outside of the ethereum blockchain?"

-vs-

Second, low-level nuts-and-bolts coding stuff. "What's wrong with this script?" or "How can I create a priority queue with LLL?"

I've broken down the smart contract in 4:
- The top level category for high-level discussions
- 3 subcategories for specific smart contract languages: LLL, Mutan, Serpent.

Cheers!
