<p class="fix_tracking">
For a spender (like Alice) to place the constraints Bob wants
in the output script she uses to pay him, Bob needs to communicate those
constraints to her. This is similar to the problem of Bob needing to
communicate his public key to her. Like that problem, where
public keys can be fairly large, the constraints Bob uses can also be
quite large--potentially thousands of bytes. That's not only thousands
quite large—potentially thousands of bytes. That's not only thousands
of bytes that need to be communicated to Alice, but thousands of bytes
for which she needs to pay transaction fees every time she wants to spend money to Bob. However, the solution of using hash functions to create
small commitments to large amounts of data also applies here.

The BIP16 upgrade to the Bitcoin protocol in 2012 allows an
