Hi all,

Tadge Dryja's Discreet Log Contracts (DLC) can be combined with Andrew Poelstra's Adaptor Signatures (AS). I'm simply describing the combination of the two existing concepts without any fundamental changes, but I thought it was worth writing out explicitly since I haven't seen any write-up. Hopefully it doesn't contain any errors.

Starting from Schnorr signature [R, s].

In DLC, the oracle will reveal one of multiple possible s values as part of signing the outcome of an event. This s is essentially a private key for which the public key S can be calculated ahead of time (because R is committed to in advance).

In AS, instead of just R (essentially a public key), you add a second public key P of which the payer wishes to obtain the private key p from the payee. Only by revealing p can the payee make the signature valid, and thus receive the payment.

Reusable taproot addresses

Abstract

This document proposes a new scheme to avoid address reuse while retaining some of the convenience of address reuse, keeping recoverability purely from Bitcoin time chain and avoiding visible fingerprint. The scheme has negligible average overhead.
