🗒️ Conversation Summary: Andy Parkins proposed two changes to the Bitcoin protocol: allowing lightweight clients to request transactions and implementing a virtual block for pending transactions. Mike Hearn argued that lightweight clients cannot prove a transaction is not a double spend without knowledge of all transactions, but filtering suggestions could be a better approach. Gregory Maxwell noted that Bitcoin's security model requires trust in the validity of appearing deep in the chain, but a protocol change could offer an alternative.
