BIP 3 was proposed in March 2025 after completion of prior work.

Significant support and discussion for BIP 3 activation is evident online.

Modifications to BIP 3 include SPDX License Expressions and clarified proposal processes.

The email proposes solutions for removing objectionable content from the Bitcoin blockchain.

It suggests consensus and client-level changes allowing node operators to filter content post-mining.

The approach involves sophisticated hashing to maintain data integrity even when parts are deleted.

The proposal enhances Bitcoin wallet interoperability and recovery through silent payments.

It introduces `sp()`, `spscan1q`, and `spspend1q` for efficient transaction processes.

Optional block height and arguments in `sp()` aim to optimize scanning workloads.

The analysis highlights vulnerabilities in Bitcoin, suggesting improvements for network security and performance.

Proposed solutions include adjusting mining retarget periods and imposing constraints on old transaction formats.

The proposal sparks debate on block size limits, emphasizing a cautious approach towards changes affecting scalability.

The study analyzes compact block reconstructions in Bitcoin, highlighting the role of transaction awareness.

Node configuration adjustments, like `mempoolfullrbf=1`, significantly impact block reconstruction efficiency.

Periods of high mempool activity correlate with decreased compact block reconstruction rates, suggesting network congestion effects.

The project monitors Lightning Network's gossip, showing faster message spread and connectivity issues.

Observations include a major share of messages from few nodes and bandwidth underestimations.

Future plans involve expanding infrastructure and welcoming community engagement for analysis.
