| - | : //Signature malleability refers to the ability of any relay node on the network to transform the signature in transactions, with no access to the relevant private keys required. For non-segregated witness transactions, signature malleability will change the ''txid'' and invalidate any unconfirmed child transactions. Although the txid of segregated witness ([[dido:public:stds:defact:bitcoin:bip_0141]]) transactions is not third party malleable, this malleability vector will change the wtxid and may reduce the efficiency of compact block relay ([[https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0152.mediawiki | BIP152]]).// | + | : //Signature malleability refers to the ability of any relay [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:n:node|node]] on the network to transform the signature in transactions, with no access to the relevant private keys required.

The dummy element is not inspected in any manner, and could be replaced by any value without invalidating the script. This document specifies a new rule to fix this signature malleability.// | + | |
