Crox Road on Nostr: Before Taproot, paying from a simple wallet looked identical to a complex multisig ...
Before Taproot, paying from a simple wallet looked identical to a complex multisig script on-chain. Now, thanks to Schnorr signatures and MAST, a key-path spend is just a signature pair, while script paths only appear if triggered. This dual mode means your simple transactions stay indistinguishable from complex ones, boosting both privacy and blockspace efficiency. Can you spot the difference in the current mempool?
