instant confirmation via payment protocol backwards compatible proto buffer extension



Summary:

The discussion is about extending BIP70, and the use of Protocol Buffers. The writer suggests a simpler solution which involves having a single "living" version of the protobuf with all accepted BIPs in one place. This would prevent unnecessary complications for wallet implementors. The writer also suggests using field numbers 8 or 9 instead of 1000+ for private extensions that are unlikely to collide with other users.
