The email exchanges between Olaoluwa Osuntokun and an unknown person discuss a proposal that maintains an additional index of chains and serves compact filters to light clients upon request. The fixed false-positive rate is specified as P = 1/2^20, and the feedback requested involves parameter selection for optimizing bandwidth utilization in relation to the number of items the wallet is scanning for, size of blocks, number of blocks fetched, and the size of the filters themselves. The email also mentions Karl Johan Alm's analysis of the encoding type. Questions are raised on how BIP proposal will deal with temporary forks in the chain, reorgs, and temporary non-consensus related chain splits. Additionally, suggestions are made for retaining a permanent binsearchable record of the entire chain, keeping older digests in chunks of 8 blocks, and creating 4-, 2-, 1-block digests on demand.
