    does reusing keys act differently in taproot than with Pay-to-PubKey-Hash? Or is it the same deal.. same pubkey creates same address?
    Question is: is the security/privacy implications worse when reusing pubkeys with taproot?

Hi Jay,

I don't think there's much of a difference in security or privacy. The advice to avoid key-reuse remains the same and for the same reasons.
