Stuff I learned about Coinbase transactions

The coinbase transaction can assign the entire reward to a single Bitcoin address, or split it in portions among multiple addresses, just like any other transaction. Coinbase transactions always contain outputs totalling the sum of the block reward plus all transaction fees collected from the other transactions in the same block.
What is the format of a coinbase transaction?
- It has exactly one txin
- This txin's prevout hash is 0000...0000.
- This txin's prevout index is 0xFFFFFFFF
The txin's prevout script is an arbitrary byte array (it doesn't have to be a valid script, though this is commonly done anyway) of 2 to 100 bytes. It has to start with a correct push of the block height (see BIP34).

Why prime fields?

F17 = {0, 1,..., 16}

G = 6

G * x % 17:

6 * 0 = 0
