Hi,
This (and the IPs below in the QMP commands) needs to be this way, because 
it's a listening port and with 127.0.0.1 it would only listen on the loopback ip
and wouldn't be reachable from another node for example. With 0.0.0.0 it will
listen on all Interfaces.

Ok, I will Note that. But I will wait until the block changes are reviewed 
before sending the next version.
