Hi all,
I have a concrete proposal for feature bits.
1. Rename 'local features' to 'peer features'.
2. Rename 'global features' to 'routing features'.
3. Have them share a number space (ie. peer and routing features don't
overlap).
4. Put both in `features` in node announcements, but never use even bits
for peer features.
This means we can both use node_announcement as "connect to a peer which
supports feature X" and "can I route through this node?".
Similarly, (future) DNS seed filtering might support filtering only by
pairs of bits (ie. give me peers which support X, even or odd).
Cheers,
Rusty.
