Unique node identifiers



Summary:

The context discusses the design of nodes, which are not meant to be identifiable in any way. The speaker expresses objection to BIP150, a protocol that allows for peers to guarantee node ownership. However, the response refutes this objection by stating that BIP150 offers optional fingerprint-free authentication and does not reveal any node identifiers without first receiving proof from other peers who already know the identity. Peers cannot be identified without the pre-shared identity keys of node operators.
