@ -273,10 +273,22 @@ This BIP defines one initial filter type:
==== Contents ====
The basic filter is designed to contain everything that a light client needs to
sync a regular Bitcoin wallet. A basic filter MUST contain exactly the following
items for each transaction in a block:
* The outpoint of each input, except for the coinbase transaction
* The scriptPubKey of each output
sync a regular Bitcoin wallet. A basic filter MUST contain exactly the
following items for each transaction in a block:
* The previous output script (the script being spent) for each input, except
for the coinbase transaction.
* The scriptPubKey of each output, aside from all <code>OP_RETURN</code> output
scripts.
Any "nil" items MUST NOT be included into the final set of filter elements.
We exclude all <code>OP_RETURN</code> outputs in order to allow filters to
easily be committed to in the future via a soft-fork. A likely area for future
commitments is an additional <code>OP_RETURN</code> output in the coinbase
transaction similar to the current witness commitment
<ref>https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki</rev>. By
excluding all <code>OP_RETURN</code> outputs we avoid a circular dependency
between the commitment, and the item being committed to.
