Closed rodasmith closed 4 years ago

rodasmith commented 4 years ago

Briefly explained that the ''control_block'' encodes the leaf and proof of inclusion. Renamed the following variables for clarity:

''c'' is now ''control_block''.
''e_j'' is now ''proof_j''.
''k_j'' is now ''path_j''.
''l'' is now ''leaf_version''.
''p'' is now ''leaf_key_p''.
''q'' is now ''output_pubkey_q''.
''Q'' is now ''output_point_Q''.
''s'' is now ''script''.
''t'' is now ''tweak''.
