Abstract

This BIP describes a new message type for the Bitcoin Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network.

Motivation

Giving peers feedback about why their blocks or transactions are rejected, or why they are being banned for not following the protocol helps interoperability between different implementations.
It also gives Simple Payment Verification (SPV) (simplified payment verification) clients a hint that something may be wrong when their transactions are rejected due to insufficient priority or fees.
