In case you haven't heard of Schnorr signatures, here is the Wikipedia definition -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnorr_signature

Here is an article on Medium describing its potential impact on Bitcoin -

I'm starting to see comments that suggest that it could be included in the Bitcoin Core software within a year or so, that sounds a bit optimistic to me. So for all you aspiring Bitcoin pros of the future - do you think that this will have much of an impact on Bitcoin acceptance? This probably won't be so for basic transactions, but would it be useful for asset payments?

It's time I started a merit awarding promo, so I'll be watching this thread for the best discussions, especially from newer members.
