The email conversation between members of the Bitcoin-development mailing list discusses various topics related to SPV wallets and the standardization of bip32 wallet structure. The members discuss the complexity of SPV wallets and the need for a large lookahead window due to latency issues. They also mention the use of a Bloom filter to prevent sync restarts in case of running out of transaction traffic. The group talks about MultiBit HD's support for 12/18/24 words in seed length and the UI panel marked 'Request' for creating new addresses. The group also mentions storing timestamps to help with wallet restore, which is SPV specific. The discussion then shifts towards the entropy size of EC pubkey, and its iterations, and how it affects Bitcoin pubkeys. The members talk about the belief that public keys require 2^n iterations versus the actual number of iterations required for a public key of size n.
