This is much better than the original. My question, the part where it says segwit makes transactions more compact, I thought that transactions are not more compact but rather they just take advantage of extra blockspace beyond that of 1 MB? Yes they would appear to be more compact to un-upgraded nodes due to the witness being stripped, but the transactions are not actually more compact right? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJab+afAAoJEAYDai9lH2mwCDAP/RRpExXmnPzlvxuhhJ+8gSlc QRZHVa0nJ2SETTZnQSa+0t8dBO9ROYSnDHuMEqz/ba8o00Rce8icxQvCGOO29OSK Cru7/UJzYTwnt5mK2ljpUB1Fsx96fAPxfg4QMeDCRe+O5LLkH1als1GGVOwlFnLu BAV0MoCljWzBxokf0ax8+ZHHYEaKe+Fj9PKby7CZrqQKoL9PkI/n7EvqICUdTCu5 tAz9SNIBVtUxgGx/ZY96hvBx0zorV1IQEWchQ50oh/V+TgmnOW4njQOKc4TcSgfp TKpRFs8Zd7TzeIS/85GX0APGypchxdjlBaV0EORTO9GYFo7nKlzHkIGOF9Er+E6q II4qjbKLc5d/wwCIA8MHFW0Vxwv2+0ztApaWAFW42+LeHERaPCzi4NEy5quqvmsE IiTaGebl2XbTd0I+aB6WWsScTUmfXrt+NL05kwE0KDylY/mSwYMgYjP95X1Mci7X rcJRf6/pP607EiHlq3MmDlyt4TrYBp9FVVjdjvM+sD8wz72FhWeYJQdyF8t1ToOD U/ItNsxl5Jx9JvCkBXoX+6MMZ91W7D2x04Ur3OMRmy/lOoztOYAdlKy0tMyRqfCi L81apfjvmTaR2OTWhCawgZGLXGJcfOG5ECuXC90B6il5Jsts/XwyFMN2Fa1iZB50 cZwF3ySKxoVtpsf/vTW7 =feRa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
