Lets nodes advertise that they offer bloom filter support explicitly. The protocol version bump allows SPV nodes to assume that NODE_BLOOM is set if NODE_NETWORK is set for pre-170004 nodes. Also adds an option to turn bloom filter support off for nodes which advertise a version number >= 170004. Nodes attempting to use bloom filters on such protocol versions are banned, and a later upgade should drop nodes of an older version which attempt to use bloom filters. Much code stolen from Peter Todd. Zcash: Implements Zcash equivalent of BIP 111; deploys with Overwinter
Zcash 1.0.15
What is Zcash?
Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. Technical details are available in our Protocol Specification.
This software is the Zcash client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zcash transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.
Security Warnings

Deprecation Policy
This release is considered deprecated 16 weeks after the release day. There is an automatic deprecation shutdown feature which will halt the node some time after this 16 week time period. The automatic feature is based on block height and can be explicitly disabled.
