Hey everyone,

I've been working on a way to compress bitcoin transactions for transmission throughsteganography, satellite broadcasting,
and other low bandwidth channels with high CPU availability on decompression.

[compressed_transactions.md](https://github.com/TomBriar/bitcoin/blob/2023-05--tx-compression/doc/compressed_transactions.md)

In the document I describe a compression schema that's tailored for the most common transactions single parties are likely to make.
In every case it falls back such that no transaction will become malformed or corrupted.
Here's a PR for implementing this schema.

Thanks-
