Good morning Zac,

pecified UTXO.

That is not how UTXO systems like Bitcoin work.
Either you consume the entire UTXO (take away the "U" from the "UTXO") comp=
letely and in full, or you do not touch the UTXO (and cannot get fees from =
it).

> A fee also need not to be specified.

Fees are never explicit in Bitcoin; it is always the difference between tot=
al input amount minus the total output amount.

ender based on the size of the data.

It is already implicitly calculated by the difference between the total inp=
ut amount minus the total output amount.

You seem to misunderstand as well.
Fee rate is computed from the fee (computed from total input minus total ou=
tput) divided by the transaction weight.
Nodes do not compute fees from feerate and weight.

 to use this new construct over using one or more transactions. For instanc=

to store data).

Do you want to change weight calculations?
*reducing* weight calculations is a hardfork, increasing it is a softfork.

See above note, if you want to somehow reduce the weight of the data so as =
to reduce the cost of data relative to `OP_RETURN`, that is a hardfork.
