@ -351,4 +351,4 @@ Lets look at an example of what incentives are created by the transaction fee
Both transactions are less expensive when segregated witness is implemented. But comparing the costs between the two transactions, we see that before Segregated Witness, the fee is higher for the transaction that has a negative Net-new-UTXO. After Segregated Witness, the transaction fees align with the incentive to minimize new UTXO creation by not inadvertently penalizing transactions with many inputs.
Segregated Witness therefore has two main effects on the fees paid by bitcoin users. Firstly, segwit reduces the overall cost of transactions by discounting witness data and increasing the capacity of the bitcoin blockchain. Secondly, segwits discount on witness data corrects a misalignment of incentives that may have inadvertently created more bloat in the UTXO set.((("", startref="segwit16")))
