🗒️ Summary of this message: Decentralized solutions are needed to implement BIP 15 and maintain Bitcoin's strength. HTTPS is a good client feature, but not for the protocol.
📝 Original message:I agree with Luke-Jr. We need to try to find a decentralized solution if we are going to implement BIP 15. Bitcoin needs to remain decentralized in every aspect of the protocol or we lose its greatest strength.
I feel like the HTTPS idea would be a great idea for a client feature, but not really something that should be added to the protocol.
