Of course I forgot the actual link:

[bitcoin-dev] Bech32m BIP: new checksum, and usage for segwit address

[Pieter Wuille via bitcoin-dev]

Hello all,

here is a BIP draft for changing the checksum in native segwit addresses for v1 
and higher, following the discussion in 
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2020-December/018293.html

Overall, the idea is:
* Define a new encoding which is a tweaked variant of Bech32, called Bech32m. 
It refers to the Bech32 section of BIP173, which remains in effect.
* Define a new segwit address encoding which replaces the corresponding section 
in BIP173. It prescribes using Bech32 for v0 witness addresses, and Bech32m for 
other versions.

Comments, suggestions, ideas?

Cheers,
