Nice paper, Pieter. I do have a bit of feedback. 1)The first sentence of "Deployment" has a typo. "We reuse the double-threshold switchover mechanism from BIP 34, with the same *thresholds*, [....]" 2)I think the handling of the sighash byte in the comments of IsDERSignature() could use a little tweaking. If you look at CheckSignatureEncoding() in the actual code (src/script/interpreter.cpp in master), it's clear that the sighash byte is included as part of the signature struct, even though it's not part of the actual DER encoding being checked by IsDERSignature(). This is fine. I just think that the code comments in the paper ought to make this point clearer, either in the sighash description, or as a comment when checking the sig size (i.e., size-3 is valid because sighash is included), or both. 3)The paper says a sig with size=0 is correctly coded but is neither valid nor DER. Perhaps this code should be elsewhere in the Bitcoin code? It seems to me that letting a sig pass in IsDERSignature() when it's not actually DER-encoded is incorrect.
