Neutrino support #70

Open tuxcanfly opened 6 years ago

tuxcanfly commented 6 years ago

Neutrino support i.e BIP158 would be useful for light clients. Would there be an interest to add them to hskd?

If so we can commit the filters to the block, which would simplify filter verification for the clients.

It would be computationally complex for full nodes to compute the filter just to validate a block. Research needs to be done regarding what goes in the filters as well.

It seems like adding the filters in an optional fashion would be more ideal than adding them to the block header itself.
