I`m working on implementing different Bitcoin messages. Currently workin on "version" message (
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification#version) and I have a couple simple questions:
What is the current protocol version to use in the message? How do different protocol versions differ? From what I can see I assume they correlate to main blient release version, but I'd rather make sure.
Services part - it can be set to 1 if node has full blocks, but can it also be set to 0? (a bit of a trivial question, but there might be something I don't know)
What is the secondary version for (if anything at the moment)?
Any other advice or resources you can give for developing the communication between the Bitcoin clients? For now I`m following the wiki on Protocol Specification and Network pages, but they are a bit hard to read at times.
