My BIP draft didn't make progress because the community opposes any block size
increase hardfork ever. Your version doesn't address the current block size
issues (ie, the blocks being too large). So you've retained the only certain-
DOA parts of my proposal, and removed the most useful part... I'
Hello all,
Many people have expressed discontent with Luke-jr's proposed block size
BIP, in particular with the decrease in size that would occur if it were
to be activated prior to 2024.
I have decided to modify the proposal to instead begin the increase
steps at the current 100 byte limit.
Instead of using vanity addresses, the transactions could just use an
OP_RETURN output and express the signalling there.
However, such a system could be easily gamed by people who simply spam
the network with transactions and by miners who choose what transactions
to include in their blocks.

Personally I think once the blocksize arguments are solved, there will
be no more contentious changes for this voting system to deal with.
What other contentious issues have come up in the past 3 years or so
that wasn't blocksize/scaling related? Do other protocols like TCP/IP
and the HTTP protocol
These are non-answers. Someone must decide. Someone must decide what kind
of company counts (e.g. does a dark market seller count as a business?
Does some guy who sells $10/year worth of goods using Bitcoin count the
same as large companies like Coinbase/BitPay/Blockstream). Someone must
decide
Currently in order to signal support for changes to Bitcoin, only miners are
able to do so on the blockchain through BIP9.
One criticism is that the rest of the community is not able to participate in
consensus, and other methods of assessing community support are fuzzy and
easily manipulated
