Request: Get Block Transactions ("getblocktxn")
Requests unknown transactions in a block from a peer.
Upon receiving a cmpctblock
message, a node may determine it is still missing some transactions from the recent block, which it can request using a getblocktxn
message.
A node receiving a getblocktxn
message, that has recently sent a cmpctblock
message for the specified block to this peer, must respond with either a blocktxn
message or a block
message.
