sanket1729: How can decoderawtransaction RPC know reqSigs if the output scriptpubkey is p2sh/p2wsh? I think it is returning 1 everytime.
sipa: sanket1729: it only works for bare multisig
sipa: we should probably just remove it

The output parameter for reqSigs is confusing as it outputs 1 for all scripts but bare multisig in the scriptpubkey. Considering the limited applicability of reqSigs and (slightly) confusing output(1) in almost all cases, I think it is best if we remove it.

I don't have the bandwidth to tackle this, so opening up the issue for book-keeping. I also think this is a good first issue for new contributors if there are no concept NACKs.

Affected RPCs:

• gettxout

• decodescript

• decoderawtransaction

• getrawtransaction
