    BIP144 specifies that transactions without witness should use the legacy encoding, which is currently not enforced.

    This rule was present in the original SegWit implementation (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8149), but was subsequently dropped (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8589).

    As all hashes, txids, and weights are always computed over a reserialized version of a transaction, it is mostly harmless to permit extended encoding for non-segwit transactions, but I’d rather strictly follow the BIP.

    Concept ACK

    Stricter is better (in this case)!

    concept ACK, I discovered this a few months ago, reported it, then forgot to follow up.

    To fix the test failure you could try rebasing on fae040010deda9404b15b214cec2a099fb831253

    I have no opinion on this change itself. Is there any evidence of other software using this on the p2p or rpc interface? Also note that Bitcoin Core will already normalize the transaction encoding when relaying txs.

    upgrading to tACK, please @sipa take this test:

    https://github.com/instagibbs/bitcoin/commit/7c1ad7c0367e94748e724d6a39d056b20ecc3975

    Fails for me on master, passes with your commit.

    Out of curiosity do we have any sense for whether such misformatted transactions occur and if so with what frequency?
  29. sipa commented at 8:37 pm on April 29, 2019: member
    @moneyball This is just about the encoding; it’s not a properry of the transaction at all. Before this PR, If someone were to use the invalid encoding on a particular P2P link, it would still be propagated in the correct form on further links.
  30. MarcoFalke commented at 8:50 pm on April 29, 2019: member
    Though, it wouldn’t be propagated on p2p after this pull. And also rejected by any RPC call.
