Good morning John,

However, my understanding is that, at least with the original mimblewimble.=
txt from Jedusor, the signatures and the Pedersen-commitment-to-0 could all=
 be aggregated into a single signature and Pedersen-commitment-to-0, if we =
were to use Schnorr-like signatures.
(it is possible I misunderstand this; I am not in fact a cryptographer.
Indeed, the original mimblewimble.txt mentions having to store every `k*G` =
and every signature attesting to it, although does not mention Schnorr and =
might not have considered the possibility of signature aggregation when usi=
ng Schnorr-like signatures.
There could be security issues I am unaware of, for example.)

In addition, the mimblewimble.pdf from andytoshi includes a "Sinking Signat=
ures" section, which to my understanding, combines absolute-locktime kernel=
s with partial O(log n) aggregation of the signatures that attest it.
Again, it is possible I misunderstand this.

It seems to me that neither technique is possible with relative locktime ke=
rnels.
Again, this may be merely my ignorance of such.

In any case, this is mostly moot and I ask only out of curiosity in order t=
o know more about kernels in non-relative-locktime MimbleWimble chains.

by considering that the "reference to previous kernel" as being akin to the=
 Bitcoin transaction input referring to a previous output, however it seems=
 to be not easy to create a retargatable "reference to previous kernel" in =
this way.

This seems interesting.
I shall look into this further.
