+
+ +==Abstract== + +This document specifies combo() output script descriptors. +These take a key and produce P2PK, P2PKH, P2WPKH, and P2SH-P2WPKH output scripts if applicable to the key. + +==Copyright== + +This BIP is licensed under the BSD 2-clause license. + +==Motivation== + +In order to make the transition from traditional key based wallets to descriptor based wallets easier, it is useful to be able to take a key and produce the scripts which have traditionally been produced by wallet software. + +==Specification== + +A new top level script expression is defined: combo(KEY). +This expression can only be used as a top level expression. +It takes a single key expression as an argument and produces either 2 or 4 output scripts, depending on the key. +A combo() expression always produces a P2PK and P2PKH script, the same as putting the key in both a pk() and a pkh() expression. +If the key is/has a compressed public key, then P2WPKH and P2SH-P2WPKH scripts are also produced, the same as putting the key in both a wpkh() and sh(wpkh()) expression. + +==Test Vectors== + +TBD + +==Backwards Compatibility== + +combo() descriptors use the format and general operation specified in [[bip-0380.mediawiki|380]]. +As this is a wholly new descriptor, it is not compatible with any implementation. +However the scripts produced are standard scripts so existing software are likely to be familiar with them. + +==Reference Implemntation== + +combo descriptors have been implemented in Bitcoin Core since version 0.17. -- cgit v1.2.3
