I don't think a new BIP or a version number increment is necessary. 1. "Should support" isn't the same as "must support". See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119 ; by that reading, implementations with protocol versions above 70,002 are not required to support the reject message. 2. If you don't implement a BIP, as Bitcoin Core explicitly doesn't any more for BIP61[1], you're not bound by its conditions. -Dave [1] https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/bips.md "BIP61 [...] Support was removed in v0.20.0" _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
