Successful twitter musig2 signing 🎉🚀 Musig2 is a cool protocol published (CRYPTO'21) by @n1ckler, @real_or_random, and Yannick Seurin. It lets multiple parties combine their keys and sign messages/transactions with a single signature - indistinguishable from a single signer!

This is also why BIP-173 says that even when it comes to Bech32 (segwit/bc1) addresses with error-correction capabilities, "Implementations SHOULD NOT implement correction." If you're not sure, error, and let the user fix it. Software shouldn't make guesses with 💰 at stake.

Websites/software should NEVER convert a bitcoin address provided by the user to a different form of address automatically. You're just asking for fund loss. Absolutely the websites fault, not the user's. bitcoin.stackexchange.com/q/111440/51948 @cz_binance
