This document is inspired by the [https://rusty.ozlabs.org/?p=578 address proposal] by Rusty Russell, the
[https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2014-February/004402.html base32] proposal by Mark Friedenbach, and had input from Luke Dashjr,
Johnson Lau, Eric Lombrozo, Peter Todd, and various other reviewers.
==Disclosures (added 2024)==
Due to an oversight in the design of bech32, this checksum scheme is not always
robust against
[[https://gist.github.com/sipa/a9845b37c1b298a7301c33a04090b2eb|the insertion
and deletion of fewer than 5 consecutive characters]]. Due to this weakness,
[[bip-0350.mediawiki|BIP-350]] proposes using the scheme described in this BIP
only for Native Segwit v0 outputs.
