/**
 * 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.
