Merge #16725: Don't show addresses or P2PK in decoderawtransaction
6d803494b59ab5520079b6a72d97790d86d2a015 Don't show addresses or P2PK in decoderawtransaction (nicolas.dorier)
Pull request description:
I spent significant amount of time explaining to people that satoshi did not had any "bitcoin address", because bitcoin address was not existing at the time.
Then I need to explain them that all blockchain explorer are wrong. Then I understood that the source of this widespread mistake come from Bitcoin Core itself.
For:

This mistake is having widespread impact, as developer thinks P2PK are addresses, they start running into issues when somebody send a P2PK payment to them and then they don't understand why they can't sign it like a P2PKH.
