This thread is to collect and discuss the questions that could be good candidates for the transactions section.

Considered

  1. What are the downsides to enabling potentially suboptimal or unused opcodes in a future soft fork?
  2. What is signature grinding?
  3. Is SegWit a blocksize increase or more efficient use of blockspace?
  4. How does SegWit reduce transaction size, when the signature is simply moved to another part of the transaction?
  5. Why does Taproot require a new address format?
