- BIP 61 reject messages are now deprecated. Reject messages have no use
181+
case on the P2P network and are only logged for debugging by most network
182+
nodes. Furthermore, they increase bandwidth and can be harmful for privacy
183+
and security. It has been possible to disable BIP 61 messages since v0.17
184+
with the `-enablebip61=0` option. BIP 61 messages will be disabled by default
185+
in a future version, before being removed entirely.
