+ * BloomFilter is a probabilistic filter which SPV clients provide
+ * so that we can filter the transactions we sends them.
+ * 
+ * This allows for significantly more efficient transaction and block downloads.
+ * 
+ * Because bloom filters are probabilistic, an SPV node can increase the false-
+ * positive rate, making us send them transactions which aren't actually theirs, 
+ * allowing clients to trade more bandwidth for more privacy by obfuscating which
+ * keys are owned by them.
