34 * BloomFilter is a probabilistic filter which SPV clients provide

41 * allowing clients to trade more bandwidth for more privacy by obfuscating which

106 * RollingBloomFilter is a probabilistic "keep track of most recently inserted" set.
107 * Construct it with the number of items to keep track of, and a false-positive
108 * rate. Unlike CBloomFilter, by default nTweak is set to a cryptographically
109 * secure random value for you. Similarly rather than clear() the method
110 * reset() is provided, which also changes nTweak to decrease the impact of
111 * false-positives.
113 * contains(item) will always return true if item was one of the last N to 1.5*N
114 * insert()'ed ... but may also return true for items that were not inserted.
116 * It needs around 1.8 bytes per element per factor 0.1 of false positive rate.
117 * (More accurately: 3/(log(256)*log(2)) * log(1/fpRate) * nElements bytes)
