Removed link and reference to SLIP-0173 #1481
Conversation
SLIP-0173 is not relevant to BIP173 due to not containing any additional information about bitcoin. Co-authored-by: Reese Russell <[email protected]>

It may be irrelevant to Bitcoin, but it redirects a common request about BIP-173, without needing any action from the BIP maintainer or others here. |

The SLIPs have been a bulwark against countless altcoin PRs directed at
this repository. See SLIP-044 for a prime example.

@apoelstra @clarkmoody Thank you both for responding. It is my perspective that linking these projects may be perceived as an official endorsement for them. However, I can understand the desire to stop needless PRs. The question is, what is more important - preventing PRs or preventing users from being led astray? |

I don't think it'd be perceived as an "official endorsement". Perhaps an "official acknowledgement", but that's fairly accurate -- if we were to add new HRPs in Bitcoin for something, we would check SLIP-173 to avoid colliding, because it's an easy check and it's good social grace. |

It sounds to me that the BIP authors declined this proposed change to their BIP. |
