  • Is Activation part of this discussion?
    Yes, activation is part of feasibility.

  • List upgrades on Sticky Notes

    • Categories
      • Consensus cleanup
      • Total script replacement/alternative
      • Covenant proposals (discussion of what lnhance is)
      • Various amounts of script restoration
      • UTXO commitments stuff (block commitments (maybe lagging - muhash))
      • Streaming hash
      • Cross-input signature aggregation
      • OP_ZKP
      • Quantum resistance
  • UTXOs
    Two options: support inclusion proofs or just verify the UTXO set.

    • Is UTXO commitment worth it without inclusion proofs?
    • Can you build a succinct inclusion proof into the committed UTXO set?
    • Alternative node implementations dislike UTXOs and would push back against them.
    • Technically, UTXO is Core-specific, e.g., choice of unspendable coins.
  • What is Quantum-resistant Taproot?

  • Cross-input signature aggregation has little benefit due to only small transaction weight improvement (?).

Organize by impact vs feasibility

Diagram of features organized by impact vs feasibility

  • Observations:
    • OP_CAT has relatively high impact/feasibility.
    • Maybe OP_ANYPREVOUT.
    • Consensus cleanup has low impact and high feasibility but could have high impact if a timewarp attack actually occurs.
