Blockspace price for data of a simple transaction is higher than the one for data of other ("complex") transactions: 3 vs 1.49 "weight"/byte in the examples below: - 3=616 "weight" / 205 bytes (txid: aabbcce67f2aa71932f789cac5468d39e3d2224d8bebb7ca2c3bf8c41d567cdd) - 1.49=1140 "weight" / 767 bytes (txid: 1c35521798dde4d1621e9aa5a3bacac03100fca40b6fb99be546ec50c1bcbd4a).
As a result, there are incentives structure distorted and critical inefficiencies/vulnerabilities (e.g. misallocation of block space, blockspace value destruction, disincentivized simple transaction, centralization around complex transactions originators). Price of blockspace should be the same for any data (1 byte = 1 byte, irrespectively of location inside or outside of witness), e.g. 205/205 and 767/767 bytes in the examples above. Perhaps, the solution (the same price, "weight" of each bit of a transaction) could be introduced as part of the next version of Segwit transactions. Let's fix it.
