Rather than viewing the false positive rates as a liability, it is used to create a tunable parameter that represents the desired privacy level and bandwidth trade-off. A SPV client creates their Bloom filter and sends it to a full node using the message `filterload`, which sets the filter for which transactions are desired. The command `filteradd` allows addition of desired data to the filter without needing to send a totally new Bloom filter, and `filterclear` allows the connection to revert to standard block discovery mechanisms. If the filter has been loaded, then full nodes will send a modified form of blocks, called a merkleblock. The merkleblock is simply the block header with the merkle branch associated with the set Bloom filter.

An SPV client can not only add transactions as elements to the filter, but also public keys, data from signature
scripts and pubkey scripts, and more. This enables P2SH transaction finding.
