Today we'll discuss History Reconciliation — when two peers connect for the first time, how do they learn which parts of history they have in common, and which are new parts that they need to send to each other?

We'll review four approaches:

Christian Grothoff's Bloom Filter approach from Braid 73
Aljoscha Meyer's Ranged Reconciliation from Braid 78.1
Version Vectors
And a simple new (?) approach that Greg and I have been exploring

These all have different tradeoffs. Come learn and share the aspects that matter to you, in your applications, as we figure out what makes for a good standard!
