Both these are good observations and I'll act on them. > Another thing to improve privacy would be to apply the Funding Transaction > pattern: https://zmnscpxj.github.io/offchain/generalized.html <snip> I've not read of the FTP before; I welcome it, and take on board that it improves privacy by keeping a script offline. My first thought is that doesn't affect the suggested BIP, so my next update here won't include it. I recognise it would improve mainnet use of scripts though, so do expect to return to it.
