If there are no objections, I will update these in 2 weeks: BIP 39: Mnemonic code for generating deterministic keys - Used by many wallets and hundreds of thousands of users. BIP 44: Multi-Account Hierarchy for Deterministic Wallets - Appears to be implemented by multiple wallets. BIP 67: Deterministic Pay-to-script-hash multi-signature addresses through public key sorting - Implementations in multiple wallet software exist. BIP 125: Opt-in Full Replace-by-Fee Signaling - Implemented in Bitcoin Core and derivatives; appears to be in regular use on the network. BIP 130: sendheaders message - Implemented in Bitcoin Core and derivatives. Also, BIP 43 (Purpose Field for Deterministic Wallets) is an informational BIP which appears to be guiding to some extent the creation of new BIPs; therefore I propose its Status be upgraded to Active. I will make this update in 2 weeks also, if no objections. Additionally, BIP 111 (NODE_BLOOM service bit) has been implemented in Bitcoin Core and derivatives; it is unclear if used by clients yet. Can developers of such clients please comment and let me know: 1) if their software supports this BIP already; 2) if not, do they intend to support it in the future? If and only if there are any clients using this service bit already, I will update BIP 111 to Final Status in 2 weeks also. Thanks, Luke
