taproot support

[Legogris]

Searching the repo, I don't find much explicit mention of this. Where is libbitcoin on the path to taproot support?

Taproot work in in a branch in my personal repo. It’s not yet complete. I did most of it last year. Worked on it a little recently. I expect to have it done before it activates.

Nice!

Still expect to have this done before activation, at least in libbitcoin-system. Whether node/server v4 is out by then is an open question. Just getting back into full time work, and once the dependencies are all upgraded I'll move to completing this next.

Hello. Can I use libbitcoin to create and spend V1_P2TR transactions?

[evoskuil]

Not with any specific support. Version3 (release) does not have TR features. Version4 should when released.

Hello. If I understood correctly, P2TR addresses can be validated/used with Version4. Right?

If so, is there any info for Version4 release date?

[evoskuil]

Yes, no :) but work is ongoing.

FWIW Taproot is now implemented on master, except for wallet functionalities such as P2TR address generation and tx building.
