Another number: I'm answering dozens of support inquiries about delayed/missing transactions per day. Over the 7 years of Bitcoin Wallet's existence, I estimate about 50000 inquiries. On the other hand, I remember only 1 (one) inquiry about the privacy problems of BIP37 (or privacy at all). From a regular user's point of view, privacy is non-issue. Sure, everyone would take it for free, but certainly not if it a) delays incoming payments or b) quickly eats up your traffic quota. _______________________________________________ bitcoin-dev mailing list bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
