---+++ deserialize_filtered($payload,$bloomfilter)

Use this to deserialize blocks and get the transactions that are interesting by using Bloom filters.

Scripts and prevHashs must be serialized (binary).

---++ serialize_header

transaction count is set to 0.

---+ Getters/Setters

---++ height($newheight)

The spv assigns this number. The spv uses this block object as a convenient place to store chain information regarding the height and difficulty.

---++ cummulative_difficulty($newdifficulty)

Used by the spv to track which chain is the "Longest" (ie in terms of difficulty)

---++ tx_by_hash($blockhash)

Given a hash (in hex form or binary), retrieve the corresponding transaction.
