This specification defines a new type of transaction that supplements (not replaces)

Normal "non-coalescing" Bitcoin Transactions have one large inefficiency: When you want to spend

input separately, along with the same signature multiple times.

input separately, along with the same signature multiple times, even though the signature expresses the same information.

This bloats the transaction size and makes it expensive to spend from small value inputs.

Because small value inputs are expensive to send, they remain in the UTXO pool

==Specification==
|
||||
|
||||
A version 2 transaction is formulated the exact same way as a version 1 transaction
|
||||
=== Redefinition of Transaction version ===
|
||||
|
||||
First, this bips redefines the version field on transactions. The first four bytes
|
||||
are defined as the version number, while the last four bytes are defined as the
|
||||
transaction type. Type "0000" denotes normal transactions, and "0001" defines
|
||||
coalescing transaction.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
version 1 transaction with normal inputs:
|
||||
`version: 10000000`
|
||||
|
||||
version 2 transaction with normal inputs:
|
||||
`version: 20000000`
|
||||
|
||||
version 2 transaction with coalescing inputs:
|
||||
`version: 20000001`
|
||||
|
||||
Essentially the last bit in the version field is set to 1 to enable wildcard inputs for all
|
||||
inputs present in the transaction.
|
||||
|
||||
=== Wildcard inputs ====
|
||||
|
||||
A coalescing transaction is formulated the exact same way as a version 1 transaction
|
||||
with one exception: each input is treated as a "wildcard input".
|
||||
|
||||
A wildcard input beings the value of all inputs with the exact same scriptPubKey

The bitcoin code needs to be modified in three places in order to handle Version 2 Transactions.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Full Node V2 validation** - When a full node receives a V2 transaction, it has to

1. **Full Node Coalescing validation** - When a full node receives a coalescing transaction, it has to
|
||||
aggregate the value of all the UTXOs in the blockchain older than the input

with the same scriptPubKey. If this value is greater than or equal to the
|
||||
amount of all outputs, then that V2 transaction is valid and can be propagated.

2. **Full Node V1 validation** - When a V1 transaction comes in, the code needs to be modified

to check if each inut has not been spent by a V2 transaction. If there exist any

V2 transaction in the blockchain with the same scriptPubKey *after* that input,

2. **Full Node Non-Coalescing validation** - When a non-coalescing transaction comes in, the code needs to be modified
|
||||
to check if each input has not been spent by a coalescing transaction. If there exist any
|

coalescing transaction in the blockchain with the same scriptPubKey found in a block *after* that input,

then the UTXO has been spent and the transaction is invalid.

3. **Wallet** - The user facing wallet portion of the reference client should notify
|

the user when their wallet contains many UTXOs that qualify it to benefit from
|

a V2 transaction. Wallets should not simply replace V1 transactions with V2 transactions.
