Payment Protocol: BIP 70, 71, 72



Summary:

The concern raised is about ensuring that wallet applications can function without supporting the P2P protocol, which could cause a significant implementation overhead for simple wallets. The question is how such wallets would receive transactions without the protocol. The writer believes that implementing the P2P protocol is the easiest part of creating a wallet. However, they do not have a strong opinion either way, as preventing transactions from being announced to the network seems unusual and requires additional work.
