I understand that P2PK scripts do not have a corresponding address type. However, we see a lot of P2PK transactions, both coinbase outputs and non-coinbase outputs. What software was used to make …

I recently had a cooperative close of a Lightning channel and the two Lightning nodes agreed a fee rate of about 1 sat/vbyte for the closing transaction. (This was fine by me; I always like to keep …
