I for one would be interested in taking a look at that.

In San Jose I was asking around about the possibility of hiring someone =
to complete such a patch. Pieter Wuille introduced me to Eric Lombrozo, =
who expressed interest, but has since gotten quite busy. So we haven't =
arrived at a detailed estimate of what it would involve.

Maybe it would be better to start a completely new thread for this =
topic, but I would very much be interested in an open dissection of what =
adding SPV support to bitcoind would take. I am willing to fund or =
(ideally) co-fund this endeavor, if I can ever get my head around it. =
I'm super interested in all of these possibilities (including =
micro-stripped-VMs and transpilation), but would simply like to =
encourage the proliferation of _options_ whenever possible.
