It is automatically enabled between compatible peers. [BIP 152](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0152.mediawiki) +As a side-effect, ordinary non-mining nodes will download and upload blocks +faster if those blocks were produced by miners using similar transaction +filtering policies. This means that a miner who produces a block with many +transactions discouraged by your node will be relayed slower than one with +only transactions already in your memory pool. The overall effect of such +relay differences on the network may result in blocks which include widely- +discouraged transactions losing a stale block race, and therefore miners may +wish to configure their node to take common relay policies into consideration. + Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation ----------------------------------------- |
