Advertising NODE BLOOM as a service sounds good. But the critique of bloom filters, I am not so sure prefix filters are better. Prefix filters offer questionable privacy tradeoffs in my opinion. Same problem as with stealth address proposed use of prefixes.
All for scalability, efficiency and decentralization but not ideally at the expense of nuking privacy. The effects on privacy are cumulative, and affect everyone not just the user. Same pattern of local decision, global effect as with reused addresses.
