The DO_NOT_WANT naming is to prevent people who *don't* want to use it from using it because it's the "new hotness". It cannot both be powerful enough to do what we need (rebinding) and safe enough for general use (no rebinding). > So here's something I almost think is an argument that ANYPREVOUT is safe > (without chaperone sigs or output tagging, etc). > > #1.

Paying to share with an untrusted party is *insecure* without further, complex arrangements. Those arrangements (already a requirement for lightning) worry me far more than the bitcoin-level rebinding, TBH. Lightning relies on #1, not #2. I don't know of any use for #2 in fact; in practice if you have control of keys you can generally sign a new tx, not requiring ANYPREVOUT. If you're trying to blindly spend a tx which may be RBF'd, ANYPREVOUT won't generally help you (amount changes). > #5. It's probably not compatible with luke's "malleability proof" wallet > idea [0].

And "wallet X > isn't safe" is a risk category we already deal with. Yes, I think our primary concern is risk to non-ANYPREVOUT using txs. That would make ANYPREVOUT a bad idea, but seems we're concluding that's not the case. Secondary, is the accidentally-using-ANYPREVOUT scenario, which I consider unlikely (like accidentally-using-SIGHASHNONE), especially since you need to actually mark your keys now, so you can't do it post-hoc to existing outputs. Final concern is the using-correctly-but-nasty-gotchas. This seems to be inherent in rebinding, and is fully addressed by Don't Reuse Addresses. That is already a requirement for lightning (reusing revocation keys is fatal). Others reusing your addresses is already a thing we have to deal with in bitcoin (Enjoy/Sochi). Cheers, Rusty.
