Does anyone know or can speculate on the purpose of the 4 "alignment" bytes in the node block header? Are they for alignment (in which case it's strange to have them at the beginning instead of the end)? Or are they describing alignment (in which case it's strange to need 32 bits)?
- cugu 10y agoI just called it alignment. It's just a bit that decides wether the following entries are fixed length or variable length.
