🔖 Title: Suggestion for enhancements to getblock 🏷️ Categories: Bitcoin-development 👥 Authors: • Mike Hearn ( Mike Hearn [ARCHIVE] ) • Andy Parkins ( Andy Parkins [ARCHIVE] ) • Gregory Maxwell ( Gregory Maxwell [ARCHIVE] ) 🗒️ Conversation Summary: Andy Parkins proposed two changes to the Bitcoin protocol: allowing lightweight clients to request transactions and implementing a virtual block for pending transactions. Mike Hearn argued that lightweight clients cannot prove a transaction is not a double spend without knowledge of all transactions, but filtering suggestions could be a better approach. Gregory Maxwell noted that Bitcoin's security model requires trust in the validity of appearing deep in the chain, but a protocol change could offer an alternative. 📅 Messages Date: 2011-07-07 ✉️ Message Count: 6 📚 Total Characters in Messages: 13043
