- Explicitly describe what BIPs are before we start dropping references
to them.
- Mention that addresses don't encode a message, so using a unique
address that the receiver has privately associated with a spender is
the only guaranteed way to identify payments from that spender.
- Correct how many blocks need to elapse before an output can be spent
by an input with a relative lock time.
- Many other small edits.
- New introduction to fees
- More detail about how the fee market works
- Adds RBF and CPFP fee bumping
- Adds transaction pinning
- Adds package relay
- Adds CPFP carve out
- Small edits to 'Adding fees'
- Tiny edits to fee sniping
This chapter, containing parts of previous chapters 6 and 7, is almost
entirely rewritten.
- Instead of introducing concepts in a somewhat arbitrary order, almost
every section except the last three (coinbase txes, weight, and legacy
serializitaion) follows the order of transaction fields as seen in
a P2P serialized transaction.
- We leave details of scripts for the next chapter (authorization &
authentication), signatures for the chapter after that, and fees and
fee bumping for the chapter after that (reflecting the increased
importance of fees).
