📝 Original message:Wow there's a lot here to think about. I'm pretty sure I haven't grasped
the full implications yet.
I see it proposes to also introduce additional BIPs describing the use of
the data stucture for stateless validation & mining, the UBC address index
for "SPV+" operating modes, document timestamping and merged mining.
Can the BIP stand alone as a BIP without some specific changes to the
protocol or end-user accessible features defined within it? It seems like
an extremely useful data stucture, but as I understand it the purpose of
BIPS is defining interoperability points, not implementation details?
Unless the tree itself is becoming part of the protocol, seems like its
spec, test vectors, and reference implementation can live elsewhere, but I
would love to read about BIPS which use this tree to accomplish some
amazing scalability or security benefits.
