Does this functionality change peer selection? If not, the preferred signaling mechanism is probably the one in BIP 130. Otherwise, I think the standard method for getting numbers has been to write a BIP documenting the usage. I don't know if that is intentional or just how things have previously happened; and I don't have much of an opinion on it. _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
