In November 2011, an email thread on the Bitcoin-development mailing list discussed BIP 14, a proposed protocol version and user agent for Bitcoin. The thread included contributions from Amir Taaki, Gavin Andresen, and Patrick Strateman. Taaki expressed gratitude to Andresen and Strateman for their input on the proposal. Mike Hearn showed support for the new format and offered to make changes to BitcoinJ if the mainline client adopted it.The proposed BIP 14 introduced a hierarchical structure for Bitcoin transactions. It was suggested by Strateman and included clarifications from Andresen. The timeline of the proposal was written in the past tense to ensure its readability in the future. The next version, 0.6, was expected to be the protocol version separated from the current client. However, there were still some changes being integrated into the protocol that needed to be finalized.If the mainline client implemented the new format, BitcoinJ would also need to adapt. However, adjustments would be required to ensure proper setup by clients using the API. The discussion concluded with a promotion for the RSA(R) Conference 2012 and a link to register for the event.Overall, the email thread highlighted the collaborative efforts and discussions surrounding BIP 14 and the upcoming changes to the Bitcoin protocol.
