P2WSH, witness_v0_scripthash: how to derive an address
It's a Segwit output and hence does not have the address associated with it. The locking script for a Segwit transaction includes the witness version (0 in this case) and the redeem script (which is ...

In simple terms, what are the major differences between P2WPKH and P2WSH bech32 addresses?
P2WPKH - This stands for "Pay To Witness Public Key Hash" and the scriptPubkey is OP_0 0x14 {20-byte-hash}, where OP_0 is the version, byte 0x14 is the size of the data, and the {20-byte-hash} is a ...

Why are P2WSH addresses larger than P2SH addresses?
Because P2SH addresses are too short to provide the typically desirable level of security we expect from Bitcoin, against certain attacks. On top of that, they use bech32 encoding rather than base58, ...

Will P2TR make P2WSH obsolete?
As far as I can tell, P2TR is better than P2WSH in almost every way. I cannot think of a case in which it would be a significant advantage to use P2WSH over P2TR, except that P2WSH is already ...

Can a coinbase transaction have a segwit output?
Other than the total value needing to be correct (no more than the block reward plus fees), the outputs of a coinbase transaction are completely unrestricted and act the same as any other transaction.

how do you tell P2WSH invoice addresses apart from P2SH?
P2PKH addresses are 33-34 characters long, use Base58Check encoding, and (on mainnet) start with "1".

Why are P2WSH addresses larger than P2SH addresses?
The encoding is bech32 not base58, which is slightly longer but vastly easier to type due to a lack of capital letters, and the inclusion of error correction rather than error detection.
