The key to understanding how it works is to stop thinking in terms of a block size limit, but rather a block weight limit. 1 byte of witness data counts as 1 weight, the rest counts for 4 weight. A block must be less than 4 million weight. There's no separate limits at all, so any saving in the witness space (e.g. through signature aggregation) is useful for both witness/non-witness data. -Ryan > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Single signature for all transactions in a block? > Local Time: December 31, 2017 5:39 PM > UTC Time: December 31, 2017 11:39 PM > From: bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org > To: Bitcoin Protocol Discussion > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA512 > > I had a question relating to scaling and privacy enhancements. > I believe that segwit combined with aggregated signatures > and coinjoin can potentially achieve such.
