Miners should not consider signaling as voting.
I agree that it isn't voting, its signaling. But whether or not you call it
'readiness' or 'support', some miners will use it to signal 'support' and
will refuse to becom
I think you may be confused. Mandatory signaling is not the same thing as
mandatory activation on timeout, aka Lock On Timeout aka LOT=true.
These are two related but separate things.

Hi alicexbt,
As far as I understand things, I believe the whole notion of a MUST_SIGNAL
state is misguided today. Please correct me if I'm misunderstanding
something here.
Back when BIP8 was first proposed by Shaolin Fry, we were in a situation
where many existing clients waiting for segwit signa
Hi Billy,
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with everything andÂ
bip-trinary-version-signaling looks interesting.

I think this is a useful proposal. There are certainly things about BIP9
that BIP8 fixes. I believe taproot's speedy trial did kind of a hybrid, but
a BIP spec was never produced for it afaik. A possibly unhelpful comment:

Hi Bitcoin Developers,
There were some disagreements with speedy trial activation method recently and
BIP 8 became controversial because of LOT earlier. I have tried to solve these
two problems after reading some arguments for/against different activation
methods by removing LOT from BIP 8 and
