Having it on the BIP page *does* make it more official, at least the way we've been using the BIP page, which is to filter out the proposals that haven't gotten much support at all. (or maybe are just controversial) FWIW I myself haven't pushed hard for getting an "official" BIP number for my draft NODE_BLOOM BIP, even though I've got support from most of the dev team on the pull-request: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2900 I'm probably at the point where I could get one assigned - Litecoin for instance has made that change - but really I just see that as a formality; that it's still a controversial idea is much more relevant. In any case I don't see any working code in your email, I'd suggest writing some. You're BIP would be much more likely to be accepted if you were more involved in wallet development. -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 000000000000000ad5e0cbc9438203b9cf2dcae776774f59575e38fcefa802ed
