It is reproducibly built with gitian and there +are binaries for Linux, OS X and Windows (code signed). It currently +contains the following two features: + + 1. Double spend relaying, by Gavin Andresen and Tom Harding. This is + useful for merchants that currently connect to thousands of nodes to spot + double spends, which is wasteful of resources. + + 2. BIP 64 support (the getutxo message). This is useful for Lighthouse + to render a more helpful GUI. + +By running XT you provide additional services to users of the P2P network, +test the features more thoroughly and help build the case for inclusion in +Bitcoin Core. + +There is a mailing list for discussion of patch inclusion +<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bitcoin-xt/>, and another list for +announcements <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bitcoin-xt-announce>. +Because XT is a patch set the feature branches will be rebased from time to +time. If you branch from them, be aware of that and plan accordingly. + +XT nodes advertise themselves by using the getutxo service bit (i.e. bit +2). You can find them by querying a Cartographer, which I will describe in +another email. + + + +A brief note about the goals of this project. The XT project is intended to +provide a friendly environment where [SPV] app developers and merchants can +experiment with new features and explore new directions for the protocol, +if there is demand for that. Those upgrades could then be considered for +inclusion into Core at a later date. I do not expect there to be thousands +of XT users any time soon, but that's OK. Because the patch set contains +features that don't require everyone to opt in (e.g. changes to the +tx/block formats), even just a few nodes can be useful. + + +Thanks for reading, and have a great new year's eve! + +--089e01419e028e2c62050b4a95b3 +Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 +Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable + +<div dir=3D"ltr">Hi there,<div><br></div><div>I hope everyone who celebrate= +s Christmas is having a relaxing and enjoyable break! :)</div><div><br></di= +v><div>I'd like to announce <a href=3D"https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bit= +coinxt">Bitcoin XT</a>, a patch set on top of Bitcoin Core 0.10rc1 that foc= +uses on enhancements to the peer to peer protocol.
