Subject: [Bitcoin-development] Proposed new P2P command and response: getcmds, cmdlist
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 20:13:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+8xBpdD31koaVBh1RuDZKH1sygr8z10K=bPz8DepqYOa8i6yg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Outside of major features advertised network-wide in nService bits,
P2P protocol lacks a good method of enumerating minor features or
extensions. The version number increment is coarse-grained, and is
not self-documenting. A simple extension which lists supported
commands is added, as demonstrated in this pull request:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1471
Another option is for verack to return this information at login,
eliminating the need for a separate command/response.
