Hi All,

I would like to propose a new PSBT version that addresses a few=20
deficiencies in the current PSBT v0. As this will be backwards=20
incompatible, a new PSBT version will be used, v1.

The primary change is to truly have all input and output data for each=20
in their respective maps. Instead of having to parse an unsigned=20
transaction and lookup some data from there, and other data from the=20
correct map, all of the data for an input will be contained in its map.=20
Doing so also disallows PSBT_GLOBAL_UNSIGNED_TX in this new version.=20
Thus I propose that the following fields be added:

Global:
* PSBT_GLOBAL_TX_VERSION =3D 0x02
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: 32-bit little endian unsigned integer for the transaction=
=20
version number. Must be provided in PSBT v1 and omitted in v0.
* PSBT_GLOBAL_PREFERRED_LOCKTIME =3D 0x03
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: 32 bit little endian unsigned integer for the preferred=20
transaction lock time. Must be omitted in PSBT v0. May be provided in=20
PSBT v1, assumed to be 0 if not provided.
* PSBT_GLOBAL_INPUT_COUNT =3D 0x04
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: Compact size unsigned integer. Number of inputs in this=20
PSBT. Must be provided in PSBT v1 and omitted in v0.
* PSBT_GLOBAL_OUTPUT_COUNT =3D 0x05
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: Compact size unsigned integer. Number of outputs in this=
=20
PSBT. Must be provided in PSBT v1 and omitted in v0.

Input:
* PSBT_IN_PREVIOUS_TXID =3D 0x0e
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: 32 byte txid of the previous transaction whose output at=
=20
PSBT_IN_OUTPUT_INDEX is being spent. Must be provided in PSBT v1 and=20
omitted in v0.
* PSBT_IN_OUTPUT_INDEX =3D 0x0f
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: 32 bit little endian integer for the index of the output=
=20
being spent. Must be provided in PSBT v1 and omitted in v0.
* PSBT_IN_SEQUENCE =3D 0x0f
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: 32 bit unsigned little endian integer for the sequence=20
number. Must be omitted in PSBT v0. May be provided in PSBT v1 assumed=20
to be max sequence (0xffffffff) if not provided.
* PSBT_IN_REQUIRED_LOCKTIME =3D 0x10
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: 32 bit unsigned little endian integer for the lock time th=
at=20
this input requires. Must be omitted in PSBT v0. May be provided in PSBT=20
v1, assumed to be 0 if not provided.

Output:
* PSBT_OUT_VALUE =3D 0x03
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: 64-bit unsigned little endian integer for the output's=20
amount in satoshis. Must be provided in PSBT v1 and omitted in v0.
* PSBT_OUT_OUTPUT_SCRIPT =3D 0x04
 =C2=A0 * Key: empty
 =C2=A0 * Value: The script for this output. Otherwise known as the=20
scriptPubKey. Must be provided in PSBT v1 and omitted in v0.

This change allows for PSBT to be used in the construction of=20
transactions. With these new fields, inputs and outputs can be added as=20
needed. One caveat is that there is no longer a unique transaction=20
identifier so more care must be taken when combining PSBTs.=20
Additionally, adding new inputs and outputs must be done such that=20
signatures are not invalidated. This may be harder to specify.

An important thing to note in this proposal are the fields=20
PSBT_GLOBAL_PREFERRED_LOCKTIME and PSBT_IN_REQUIRED_LOCKTIME. A Bitcoin=20
transaction only has a single locktime yet a PSBT may have multiple=20
locktimes. To choose the locktime for the transaction, finalizers must=20
choose the maximum of all of the *_LOCKTIME fields.=20
PSBT_IN_REQUIRED_LOCKTIME is added because some inputs, such as those=20
involving OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, require a specific minimum locktime to=20
be set. This field allows finalizers to choose a locktime that is high=20
enough for all inputs without needing to understand the scripts=20
involved. The PSBT_GLOBAL_PREFERRED_LOCKTIME is the locktime to use if=20
no inputs require a particular locktime.

As these changes disallow the PSBT_GLOBAL_UNSIGNED_TX field, PSBT v1=20
needs the version number bump to enforce backwards incompatibility.=20
However once the inputs and outputs of a PSBT are decided, a PSBT could=20
be "downgraded" back to v0 by creating the unsigned transaction from the=20
above fields, and then dropping these new fields.

If the list finds that these changes are reasonable, I will write a PR=20
to modify BIP 174 to incorporate them.

Thanks,
Andrew Chow
