🔖 Title: Suggestion for enhancements to getblock
🏷️ Categories: Bitcoin-development
👥 Authors:
• Mike Hearn ( Mike Hearn [ARCHIVE] (npub17ty…qgyd) )
• Andy Parkins ( Andy Parkins [ARCHIVE] (npub1nxl…wjrv) )
• Gregory Maxwell ( Gregory Maxwell [ARCHIVE] (npub1f2n…rwet) )
🗒️ Conversation Summary: Andy Parkins proposed two changes to the Bitcoin protocol: allowing lightweight clients to request transactions and implementing a virtual block for pending transactions. Mike Hearn argued that lightweight clients cannot prove a transaction is not a double spend without knowledge of all transactions, but filtering suggestions could be a better approach. Gregory Maxwell noted that Bitcoin's security model requires trust in the validity of appearing deep in the chain, but a protocol change could offer an alternative.
