Disposing of "dust attack" UTXOs

Implementation
33

Another update, we’ve created a new bip451 GitHub org for the ddust, dusts and any future related repos. Please see or open issues and PRs at these new locations.

We are also making a small adjustment to the license on these repos to be MIT or Apache 2.0, at the users discretion, to ensure easier adoption for anyone who needs an explicit patent grant.

A few next steps on the road to moving BIP-451 from “draft” to “complete” and ultimately “deployed”:

  1. improve test coverage and fix any bugs in the reference ddust client and/or spec
  2. gather more on-chain data about dust attacks to better understand the scope of the issue
  3. work with wallet and wallet lib projects to add BIP-451 support
  4. create a website to educate bitcoin users about BIP-451 and disposing of dust UTXOs
  5. track and report progress on disposing of main chain dust

If you’re a wallet developer please reach out if you’d be interested in adding BIP-451 support to your project. :folded_hands:
