Then is the time to start phasing in protocol buffers for networking in my opinion.<br/><br/>Does the current version of bitcoin have any handling for ignoring chunks of a packet? If so, phasing in protocol buffers could be as simple as writing the current packet AND writing the protocol buffer (as an ignored field for older clients), then once enough people have upgraded get rid of the old encoding.</div> text/html
