Agree with all CLTV and nVersionBits points. We should deploy a lock-time soft-fork ASAP, using the tried and true IsSuperMajoirty test. However your information regarding BIPs 68 (sequence numbers), 112 (checksequenceverify) and 113 (median time past) is outdated. Debate regarding semantics has b

+1 for deploying BIP65 immediately without further waiting. Agree with all Peter's points. If BIP65 has to follow the 0.12 schedule, it will take almost 9 months from now to complete the softfork. I don't see any good reason to wait for that long. We have too much talk, too little action. So

Summary --- It's time to deploy BIP65 CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY. I've backported the CLTV op-code and a IsSuperMajority() soft-fork to the v0.10 and v0.11 branches, pull-reqs #6706 and #6707 respectively. A pull-req for git HEAD for the soft-fork deployment has been open since June 28th, #6351 - th

Hi, I have an idea for a gamified bitcoin mining app that I'd like to partner with someone on that is very good with cryptography and knows the bitcoin code base well. I have received interest in this from some, but I'm looking for the ideal candidate to work with. If this is of interest, please e

I was mansplaining weak blocks to my wife. She asked a simple question: Why would I, as a miner, publish a weak block if I find one? I don't know. Sure, I will get faster propagation for my solved block, should I find one. On the other hand everybody else mining a similar block will enjoy the sa
