A question about the protocol: I am trying to interact with my full node in order to receive new blocks and transactions. I managed to do the handshake (sending version and verrack). I receive all the new transactions from the node (inv message, to which I reply with a "getdata", and the node reply me back with the transaction) However I don't receive new blocks. The inv messages only contain transaction hash, no block hash. Any idea why?
