// Bits 24-31 are reserved for temporary experiments. Just pick a bit that
// isn't getting used, or one not being used much, and notify the
// bitcoin-development mailing list. Remember that service bits are just
// unauthenticated advertisements, so your code must be robust against
// collisions and other cases where nodes may be advertising a service they
// do not actually support. Other service bits should be allocated via the
// BIP process.
