BIP 22 - getmemorypool

Hi,

luke-jr wants me to split this BIP into 3 separate BIPs because he says that other devs felt it was too unfocused and covered too many topics. However this discussion took place on IRC, and I never saw any of it to ascertain what happened (BIP 1 says drafts should be evaluated on the mailing list).

I think a discussion of BIP 22 perhaps did happen on the mailing list, but I don't remember it. Sorry if that's the case.

Anyway before granting the permission to allow this proposal to be pared down, and new BIPs granted for the non-core parts of this proposal, I want to know what people think. I'm not a miner myself, so I'm prescient of my lack of knowledge in the topic.

Note that the Pooled Mining parts have already been moved to:

It just needs a number assigned (as the last part).

It actually took place on this list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20120612105038.GA29784%40vps7135.xlshosting.net&forum_name=bitcoin-development

It just took some IRC prodding to get Luke to move in the direction of breaking it up to get the optional parts that Pieter objected to out of the spec.

Perhaps other people missed it too... so discussing it more sounds fine if anyone objects.
