gleb: I think in general when we talk about erlay (e.g. in the paper and elsewhere) we use this "non-reachable peer" terminology, but non-reachability doesn't exist explicitly anywhere in the implementation of bitcoin core or the bitcoin protocol... so although non-reachable peers were a good concept for modling, it can be a little confusing when it comes to the implementation.

gleb: was it needed to include minisketch in bitcoin-tx?
< gmaxwell>
Current bitcoin core causes really old nodes to be unable to sync and to dos attack you. The issue is that prior to 0.7-ish the size of headers messages wasn't limited, and the node requests headers from everyone. They blast you with a multimegabyte header and disconnect and go do it to someoen else. These old nodes seem to have also formed a fork at an early height, nodes that have this

hugohn: They aren't really bundled with the Core project. It is true the BIPs repo is under the Bitcoin Core GitHub org but no Bitcoin Core maintainers merge BIP PRs afaik so I think it is fine under the Core org
< hugohn>
As the Bitcoin protocol slowly ossifies, the bulk of new specs will likely be in the Application layer. It does make less sense to bundle them with the Core project.
< michaelfolkson>
I think there will be future discussions on a revised BIP process once (hopefully) Taproot activation is completed hugohn if you'd like to engage with that https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1015
< wumpus>
in any case, this discussion is kind of off-topic here, the bitcoin core project is one implementation, that the current BIPs repository is in the same orginazation is a historical artifact, it does not mean BIPs 'belong' to bitcoin core or something like that
< wumpus>
yes, moving to names might make sense too, in any case please don't let bitcoin innovation be stuck on having to centrally assign numbers, this shouldn't be an issue

I sent out a notice to #bitcoin-miners. Is there a guide to constructing a signaling block for operators who don't use Core's getblocktemplate or use an older version than today's?
