In fact, the BIP process was created by Amir Taaki, who was a libbitcoin developer (libbitcoin is not Core). I encourage Bitcoin Unlimited to use the BIP process for cross-implementation standards like this, as do other implementations, so that you can benefit from peer review from the wider Bitcoin development community, as well as have a common repository for these standards. Many BIPs are discussed on reddit in addition to this mailing list, and you would certainly remain free to discuss your own proposals on any forum you like - it isn't restricted to only this mailing list. If this is of interest, I will be happy to try to go over and assign BIP numbers to the current (15?) BUIPs assuming they meet the basic requirements for such assignment (see BIP 1: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0001.mediawiki). Is there an easy way to get links to each of the BUIPs? I couldn't find BUIP 1 at all, for example. Thanks, Luke
