In practice though, most implementations do seem to serialise things the same way. I recall Python used to be an odd one out, unsure if it still is. OK, I guess we can boil this down more simply. BIP 70 uses protocol buffers because I designed it and implemented the original prototype (with lots of input from Gavin and an earlier proposal by sipa). I used protocol buffers because, beyond all their nice properties, I used to work at Google and so was very familiar with them. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
