| Dec 5, 2017 at 13:29 | comment | added | Jan Janssen | I believe it partly done due to security reasons? It is much easier to bruteforce something XY if you already have X, (which would be the case by already adding the public key to your adress by default). Instead of a hashed variable where you will only get the pubkey if a spent is made, rendering it useless ( bitcoins will be gone by the time you are able to bruteforce it). ( Note that it is currently ( even with the pubkey) practically impossible to bruteforce any adress, but this might not be the case in the future.) - Someone else might be able to give a more detailed answer. | |
