When you go from a PSBT to a raw tranaction then you lose a ton of data: information about the previosu UTXOs needed for signing, BIP32 derivation paths, EC signatures...
I doubt we'll ever *get rid of* the raw transaction API, for backward compatibility and testing purposes. But I expect that users in multi-party transactions (where the ability to analyze...
Also, in practice a single function is often harder to use - if you want to hash a series of things it's nice to just throw them all into a...
"witnessScript" is also used throughout BIP141. e.g. https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki#P2WPKH "redeem script" as used in P2SH always refers to script that appears in a transaction scriptSig while the preimage to the hash...
"witness program" is defined in BIP 141 to be only the output script.
I think SSS is too difficult to use correctly, and has too few usecases, for it to be accepted here (or in secp256k1-zkp, which is much more willing to accept...
If you are just trying to split your backup non-redundantly you can split your seed words into 2 or 3 parts. If you're trying to split into more pieces than...
concept ACK. An open question is where to source randomness from.
I am working on building a new x86 system with many cores and am happy to replicate any @gmaxwell script infrastructure, to reduce the bus number. But I don't have...
From me, * the ecmult_const WNAF code (though I just implemented a paper that gmax mentioned to me) * the in-place ecmult context generation which uses some dettman-style algebraic tricks...
