🗒️ Conversation Summary: The Bitcoin development community discussed proposals to lock version numbers to the protocol version and use the sub_version_num field for individual builds. There was also a suggestion to call the original client reference protocol "Satoshi" as a tribute to its creator. However, there was opposition to modifying user-agent strings for Bitcoin protocol versioning, as it could lead to communication choices based on client type. Strict adherence to the protocol is necessary for financial transactions, and clients that do not comply should be rejected.
