BIP-131

"Coalescing Transaction" Specification (wildcard inputs).

Closed

Proposed a new kind of payment that would spend every coin held at one address with a single signature.

Spending many small coins sent to the same address means listing each one and repeating the signature, which makes the payment large and costly. This 'coalescing' payment would have swept them up in one go. It needed a hard fork, a rule change that older software would not accept.
