I’m attempting to estimate how much “spare capacity” there is for merged mining protocols.
As I understand it the scriptSig in the coinbase transaction must be less than 100B. However, the miner can include multiple OP_RETURN
statements. For instance this recent block has a coinbase tx with 3 OP_RETURN
statements and is 353 bytes.
A. Is there a limit in the overall size of the coinbase tx?
B. Is there a limit to the number of OP_RETURN
statements in the coinbase transaction?
C. What is the mean, median, range and general trend in the size of coinbase transactions?
