| Dec 12, 2017 at 5:46 | comment | added | CoryG | @karask It could mean that Bitcoin itself was designed by a large corporation or government (someone with the means to watch packets going over the network in bulk.) That's the only context it likely gets streamed anyway. | |
| Mar 5, 2016 at 9:46 | comment | added | karask | I find the rational of the code comment interesting. I believe that unless you stream the blocks the probability of these bytes occurring in normal data is irrelevant. Since bitcoin communicates with TCP it doesn't make sense. Can anyone shed more light to this? | |
