taproot is just a complication on top of schnorr signatures... basically like HD keychains, each different "tweak" is a different subkey

a little different concretely but in principle more or less the same fucking thing

the thing that pisses me off is they make it complicated to just receive a taproot payment in the code for no reason because you have to have a tweak

yes, you can have no tweak but you must hash your private key first then you can use it lol... zero byte tweak is just sha256 of the private key

so, yeah, it's the same type of signatures as used in nostr, it took almost 10 years for bitcoin to get them and they did this abomination
