Currently our wallet code will treat bare multisig outputs (meaning scriptPubKeys with multiple public keys + OP_CHECKMULTISIG operator in it) as ours without the user asking for it, as long as all public keys in it are ours.

These are:

  • hard to test (as there is no explicit address format for them)
  • expensive to spend (need multiple signatures)
  • wasteful (require more space in the UTXO set than P2PKH/P2SH/P2WPK/P2WSH)
  • generally pointless (you won't use multisig just for public keys that are all in the same wallet)

Furthermore, they are problematic in that means that producing a list of all scriptPubKeys we accept is not tractable (it involves all combinations of all public keys that are ours). In further wallet changes I'd like to move to a model where all scriptPubKeys that are treated as ours are explicit, rather than defined by whatever keys we have. The current behavior of the wallet is very hard to model in such a design, so I'd like to get rid of it.

I think there are two options:

  • Remove it entirely (do not ever accept bare multisig outputs as ours)
  • Only accept bare multisig outputs in situations where the P2SH version of that output would also be acceptable

This PR implements the second, though I'm open to discussing the first option.

"Do[n't] treat bare multisig as ours unless added as script" I assume

I think this is acceptable.
Should probably have a short release notes part.

As discussed in the April 12th 2018 IRC meeting, closing this in favor of #13002.

Pull request description:

  Currently our wallet code will treat bare multisig outputs (meaning scriptPubKeys with multiple public keys + `OP_CHECKMULTISIG` operator in it) as ours without the user asking for it, as long as all private keys in it are in our wallet.

  This is a pointless feature. As it only works when all private keys are in one place, it's useless compared to single key outputs (P2PK, P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH), and worse in terms of space, cost, UTXO size, and ability to test (due to lack of address format for them).

  Furthermore, they are problematic in that producing a list of all `scriptPubKeys` we accept is not tractable (it involves all combinations of all public keys that are ours). In further wallet changes I'd like to move to a model where all scriptPubKeys that are treated as ours are explicit, rather than defined by whatever keys we have.
