State Rent proposal version 2 (rushed)

[AlexeyAkhunov]

thank you for the interest in the topic! By the way, there is a 3rd version of the proposal available here: State Fees (formerly State rent) pre-EIP proposal version 3

@Zerim

• The proposal specifies recovery for a contract from a hash stump but doesn’t give much detail on the recovery of an externally owned account. What state is restored?

externally owned accounts do not really have a lot of interesting data in their state: nonce and balance (which is 0 by definition at the time of eviction). Whenever someone sends some ETH to such evicted address, it comes back, with a different nonce (this is fixed in the 3rd version to prevent effects on CREATE opcode).

@Zerim

• If the nonce of an externally owned account is restored (and if it isn’t, then why not?), why is temporal replay protection attached to this proposal (I understand that timestamp based temporal replay protection has other benefits, but specifically asking in the context of this proposal).

Temporal replay protection is removed from the 3rd version of the proposal, because it opens the way for re-deploying contracts that have been self-destructed.
