 ''Base size'' is the block size in bytes with the original transaction serialization without any witness-related data, as seen by a non-upgraded node.
 
 ''Total size'' is the block size in bytes with transactions serialized as described in [[bip-0144.mediawiki|BIP144]], including base data and witness data.

 The scriptPubKey occupies 34 bytes, as opposed to 23 bytes of BIP16 P2SH. The increased size improves security against possible collision attacks, as 2<sup>80</sup> work is not infeasible anymore (By the end of 2015, 2<sup>84</sup> hashes have been calculated in Bitcoin mining since the creation of Bitcoin). The spending script is same as the one for an equivalent BIP16 P2SH output but is moved to witness.

 === Per-input lock-time and relative-lock-time ===
 
 Currently there is only one nLockTime field in a transaction and all inputs must share the same value. [https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0068.mediawiki BIP68] enables per-input relative-lock-time using the nSequence field, however, with a limited lock-time period and resolution.
