Re: [Bitcoin-development] Bitcoin Protocol Specification
Dear all, thank you for your words of encouragement. I'll upload the raw .tex files on github shortly. If you have any other proposals, please let me know. Especially if there are any suggestions on how the signature section can be revised.

I know how blocks and transactions are structured and verified, but I'm interested in knowing how they're communicated over the network. There's a high level guide here: https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#p2p-network It's not a protocol specification however, more a lay-of-the-land type description. The protocol is not very complicated however. The wiki page describes it adequately. It's basically just a framing mechanism with excessively aggressive checksumming, a version handshake, an inventory mechanism to cut down on bandwidth usage, the alerts, and that's about it. -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft___ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
