[Bitcoin-development] Proposal: Encrypt bitcoin messages

2014-08-19 Thread Raúl Martínez
Hi, I believe that all comunications should be encrypted by default, no matter that is public information (tx info), the only exception I would make would be block packets (to avoid increasing propagation time). I suggest that Bitcoin Core should generate a public/private key pair and share the pu
