Revisiting NODE_BLOOM: Proposed BIP



Summary:

In an email thread from August 24, 2015, Eric Lombrozo suggested that it would be useful to have the ability to switch filtering on and off on a per-connection basis. Wladimir J. van der Laan responded by suggesting that instead of sending everyone the same nServices bits, whitelisted peers could be given special privileges. He also recommended only advertising the intersection of supported services in `addr` messages. Overall, there is a discussion about how to improve filtering options within Bitcoin connections.
