why 512MBs? about brainflayer HOT 2 CLOSED

As noted in the comments, 512MB is 2^32 bits. Because the bloom filter is used on hash160 values (which have a mostly uniform distribution), instead of actually using a hash function, I just did some byte slicing to get bit addresses. If you doubled BLOOM_SIZE there would be no impact other than using more memory unless you also changed BH00..BH19 in bloom.h. If you do this without significantly decreasing performance on x86_64, I'll accept a patch.

Also, the -f option I added late October may be of interest. If you pass that a file produced as sort -u example.hex | xxd -r -p > example.bin, all potential matches that pass the bloom filter will be double checked against the full address list (no false positives will be printed).

Closing since there's no further action to be taken.
