- Mention an example of Bitcoin Core sending a BIP151 transacation in
advance, alas it's the only case implemented.
- Mention that FIBRE is software (since Matt's main network for it was
shut down)
- Add fRelay to the node announcement message. We've only had it for 11
years.
- Clarify descriptions mention the genesis block as part of the block
chain
- Mention that BIP157/8 is not able to relay unconfirmed transactions
- Update assertion that the mempool is only stored in memory (on Bitcoin
Core, it is now written to disk on shutdown; on libbitcoin, it's
always written to disk)
- HUGE FIX: correct inverted enumerator and denominator on feerates. So
embarrasing!
These were absurdly hard to write and, as often happens when something
is that hard to write, they don't appear to be helpful, as judged by
Murch. The last time I tried to explain the theory[1], it also sucked,
so maybe this isn't what I'm meant to do. :-)
The removed text introduces the term "mempool" for this chapter, so a
small edit is made later on to compensate.
