Title: understanding SPV (simple payment verification) Post by: jonas.schnelli on May 18, 2013, 06:07:45 PM Hi
I try to understand a SPV implementation. I've read: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification and https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Thin_Client_Security as well as satoshis chapter 8 (http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf). What i don't understand: Assume user A has bitcoin address X. user A can do getheaders and load all block headers and then have all block hashes and timestamps. So: how does a SPV client then find a possible tx to users bitcoin address X without loading all blocks (an all tx)? Thanks |
