IBLT & Bitcoin

Hi all,

While in college (2017), I produced this paper on IBLT applications and Bitcoin that referenced some of the research done by folks like Gavin Andresen and Rusty Russell.

This should come with a disclaimer: I have not really looked at this paper nor Bitcoin since 2017. Additionally, this paper was not peer reviewed; it was just for class.

Regardless, I came across it when I was cleaning out some old docs on my drive and figured I'd send it over to bitcoin-dev in the event it can contribute to anything at all.

Thanks, Chris

Good morning Chris,

As I understand it, the latest proposal for improved transaction relay is to use Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem codes for set reconciliation. https://github.com/sipa/minisketch
