🗒️ Summary of this message: A proposal to use ALL|ANYONECANPAY sighash flag to reduce steps in coinjoin, but concerns about DoS attacks and input verification remain.
📝 Original message:Hi all,
In some coinjoin implementations inputs are registered first because in
that way, if the user fails or refuses to sign the transaction the input is
banned and denial of service is made a bit more expensive, in the sense
that an attacker needs more and more utxos to keep the attack going.
Your proposal can work if you find an alternative mechanism for mitigating
the DoS attacks or when DoS attacks are not a problem (I can imagine there
are scenarios where it is not really important).
