- All headers and filter headers are encoded with an arbitrary two byte prefix (currently "2001:"), followed by a 0-indexed order nibble (as nameservers often reorder responses). Bitcoin headers are then prefixed by a single 0 byte (two 0 nibbles) and placed into the remaining 80 bytes of six IPv6 addresses.

The genesis block header is, thus, encoded as (note that the responses are usually not sorted): -- 2.39.5
