// getblocks message.  It is used to request a list of blocks starting after the
// last known hash in the slice of block locator hashes.  The list is returned
// via an inv message (MsgInv) and is limited by a specific hash to stop at or
// the maximum number of blocks per message, which is currently 500.

// Set the HashStop field to the hash at which to stop and use
// AddBlockLocatorHash to build up the list of block locator hashes.

// The algorithm for building the block locator hashes should be to add the
// hashes in reverse order until you reach the genesis block.  In order to keep
// the list of locator hashes to a reasonable number of entries, first add the
// most recent 10 block hashes, then double the step each loop iteration to
// exponentially decrease the number of hashes the further away from head and
// closer to the genesis block you get.
