Wow. No value judgement, but 1980 called, they want their radio broadcast
for analogue modems back. Both very cool and very cringe worthy.

Segregated IBLT
I was just wondering if it would make sense when we have SW to also make
Segregated IBLT? Segregating transactions from signatures and then tune the
parameters such that transactions have a slightly higher guarantee and save
a bit of space on the signatures side.
IBLT should of
Few issues I can think of:
1. In its basic form this encourages address reuse. Unless the wildcard can
be constructed such that it can match a whole branch of an HD wallet.
Although I guess that would tie all those addresses together making HD moot
to begin with.
