In programming Bitcoin by Jimmy Track, it says the next:
The ScriptPubKey for p2wpkh is OP_0 <20-byte hash>.
It additionally supplies the next picture:
Moreover, when Jimmy Track is checking if the scriptPubKey is of P2WPKH kind, he’s utilizing the next code:
So my query is: The place is OP_PUSHBYTES_20 right here? Okay, perhaps within the examples we are able to omit it and simply say OP_0 20-byte hash, however how can we omit it in a program checking if the script is P2WPKH as Jimmy Track did?
I believed that I missed one thing, so I went into Bitcoin block explorer to search out any P2WPKH scriptPubKey and I discovered it with OP_PUSHBYTES_20. Right here is the hyperlink for it.
So, ought to we think about the P2WPKH output is: OP_0 OP_PUSHBYTES_20 <20-byte hash> and never simply OP_0 <20-byte hash>. Does it imply Jimmy Track made a mistake in his program?
