Subject: Re: [bitcoin-dev] BIP draft: Hardfork bit
Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2015 04:54:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a09a6c8f6a2ade5545b499882aa6e2a1@xbt.hk> (raw)

I have put it on the github: 
https://github.com/jl2012/bips/blob/master/hardforkbit.mediawiki

I removed the specification of coinbase message to make it simpler. 
Instead, it requires that a flag block must not be shared by multiple 
hardfork proposals.

I'm not sure whether it is a Standard, Informational, or Process BIP

I'm also thinking whether we should call it "hardfork bit", "hardfork 
flag", or with other name.
