Following on my earlier message <https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2016-March/012485.html>, I am happy to announce a new soft fork to be deployed using BIP 9 <https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0009.mediawiki> - Version bits.
Please review BIP 9 <https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0009.mediawiki> as it has been updated for information on how Version bits soft forks activate. This deployment is being referred to as CSV (CheckSequenceVerify) and will activate the following 3 BIPS as consensus rules: BIP 68 <https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0068.mediawiki> - Relative lock-time using consensus-enforced sequence numbers BIP 112 <https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.mediawiki> - CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY BIP 113 <https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0113.mediawiki> - Median time-past as endpoint for lock-time calculations These BIP's have been updated with the deployment information: bit: 0 startTime: 1462060800 "May 1st, 2016" (mainnet) 1456790400 "March 1st, 2016" (testnet) endTime: 1493596800 "May 1st, 2017" (mainnet and testnet) Bitcoin Core will release 0.11.3 and 0.12.1 software which implements these soft forks in the near future. Thanks, Alex
