💯 on datacarriersize. We were told the witness discount was going to make spending inputs much cheaper than creating new UTXOs. This follows from the presumption that the only real use for the extension block was going to be signatures. That was obviously wrong. Makes me wonder if this supposed benefit was just motivated reasoning by some, and a political ploy to give the big blockers what they wanted without losing face.
