Constant PROTOCOL_VERSION

pub const PROTOCOL_VERSION: u32 = 70001; // 70_001u32

This constant is used to signal to other peers which features you support. Increasing it implies that your software also supports every feature prior to this version. Doing so without support may lead to you incorrectly banning other peers or other peers banning you.
