Subject: [Bitcoin-development] Draft BIP for Bloom filtering
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:56:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANEZrP0XALwBFJyZTzYd5xBp4MRrjv0s_y2tOXbO7UgjWF2HzA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I've written a draft BIP describing the bloom filtering protocol
extension developed by myself and Matt.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0037
(yes I know there's some kind of process around getting allocated a
number - it seems overkill for this).
Please read it and let me know if there are any missing details or
things which sound wrong.
Design-wise, it occurred to me as I wrote the BIP that the method of
delaying reception of invs is a bit ad-hoc. It may be better to have a
bloom filter be sent in the version message itself. On the other hand,
having a flag to delay invs means that the filter can be calculated in
parallel to bringing up the network connections. Whilst actually
making a Bloom filter is fast, with deterministic wallets you may need
to do a lot of calculations to find the keys to scan for.
