How to spend a taproot output using key path with a threshold signature scheme when the secret key is never computed?
In taproot, in order to spend the keypath, the transaction must be signed using the tweaked private key instead of the normal private key (as defined in BIP 341).
However when computing a signature ...

Possible number of signers with MuSig
With multisig, up to 20 signatures may be used in a threshold signature scheme (What are the limits of m and n in m-of-n multisig addresses?).
As far as I understand, there should be no hard-coded ...

What is the difference between key aggregation and signature aggregation?
What is the difference between key aggregation (e.g. MuSig) and signature aggregation?
Many people (including myself) have in the past used these terms interchangeably. Why is it important to be ...

Using key aggregation (multsig) in P2TR script path spends
I know that it is possible to create a 2-2 multsig using Taproot by combining both private keys into one public key and defining that as the key path spend. I also know that it is possible to use ...

Why is Public Key aggregation in MuSig described as a product of the public keys?
In the the MuSig2 paper, it is described that:
Each signer randomly generates and communicates to others a nonce
Ri=g^ri; then, each of them computes R=∏ni=1Ri,c=H( ̃X,R,m)where
̃X=∏ni=1Xiis the ...

In MuSig-DN why not use a truly random number for the nonce instead of a pseudorandom function?
In MuSig-DN why not use a truly random number for the nonce instead of a pseudorandom function (PRF)? If the nonce space is big enough it would never be reused.
This question was asked by emzy on ...

Who will the first adopters of Taproot be (assuming it is activated at some stage)? What incentives are there to start using it straight away?
Adoption of SegWit by users and companies after it was activated was slow. Should we expect adoption of Taproot to be slow also (assuming it is activated at some stage)?
Who will the first adopters of ...

Which MuSig scheme is optimal? Classic MuSig or this new MuSig-DN scheme?
Now we have two competing MuSig schemes which is better? Classic MuSig or MuSig-DN? Which use case(s) might choose classic MuSig over MuSig-DN and vice versa?

Schnorr without R in the challenge
I read the Schnorr and MuSig papers and stumbled over the problem that the use of deterministic nonces in multisignatures is not safe. The adversary would be able to extract the private key from the ...

Is Z-man's PTLC construction implementable using libsecp256k1-zkp?
In a mailing list post Z-man details a PTLC construction which he claims is "is almost entirely a MuSig ritual". My question is whether this MusigTweak is what is called the adaptor (last argument of ...

Can R/r in Musig be derived from only seeds and message hashes?
I am wondering if the first two roundtrips of pre-committing and then revealing R/r in MuSig signing can be moved to the keygen phase and made deterministic. That reduces the amount of messages that ...
