Can Monero transactions contain scripts?
Does Monero contain a scripting system for transactions like Bitcoin does?
If so, what OPs does it have and where is it defined? Is it the same script as in Bitcoin or different?

What happens if I try to send money to an invalid address? Do the Monero just disappear?
Say that I want to send money to address 46ABCD, but I incorrectly input 46ABCF, and 46ABCF is an invalid address that no seed will ever generate. Does the protocol automatically reject the transaction, or will the money be burnt?

Why is there a multiply by 8 in the hash_to_ec and derivation_to_scalar functions?
Trying to get an intuition about the hashing that Monero is doing.
Some definitions:
Let P represent a point on the Ed25519 curve that's also a part of the group.
Let H represent a hash function.
Let E(P) be the function that encodes P into a…

How long is a 'typical' transaction time, and what factors influence this?
I am wondering how long it takes on average for XMR to be sent from one address to another (in particular, because right now BTC takes ages).
Also, what factors influence the time? e.g. Mixin level, amount of XMR?

Questions about calculating a transaction ID
As I know, Transaction ID is calculated from
H( H(tx_prefix) || H(tx_stuff) || H(Signatures) )
Where
tx_prefix = {tx version || keyoffset || keyimage || one-time addresses || extra}
tx_stuff = {signature type || tx fee || pseudo output commitments…

Why does Monero create two or more inputs for transactions?
I have been playing around with a private Monero test network and I noticed that the transactions always have two or more inputs. When I inspected the true inputs of a transaction, I observed that one input has more value than the total transaction…

Theoretically, is it possible to send a value of 0 to someone?
And if the answer is yes, doesn't it compromise the anonymity property? Assuming my wallet client does not check the transfer amount.
(I prefer mathematical explanations).

Can you reverse a payment without receiving a public key from the original sender?
So lets say Alice sends XMR to Bob and maybe even uses a payment ID so that Bob knows that it was Alice. Can Bob send Alice XMR in the future with only the information in the original transaction or does Bob need to get Alices public key?
