Topic: bip148 - binary builds in Gitian - segwit (Read 474 times)

Yes, BIP 148 is backwards compatible. All soft forks (including BIP 148) are backwards compatible and allow you to spend from transactions already in the blockchain. All hard forks will likely do this too since a hard fork that prevents people from being able to spend their money is not likely to gain enough traction to be activated.

Hello!

I have a question about this BIP148 upgrade for all BITCOIN running nodes and miners. If I have some BTC stored in say Keep Key BTC storage or a cold wallet the was printed a paper wallet...lets say I have stored them for 5 or 10 years and then decided to activated later, how would this kind of upgrade affect my stored BTC? Is BIP148 backward compatible? Would I still be able to get them back?

Best Regards,

Fidel Obando

I'm trying to help in testing proposal BIP148 for Bitcoin, by doing Gitian builds of that code.

Anyone wan to help SegWit and run a Gitian build too?

we build this tag:
https://github.com/magmaship/bitcoin/tree/v0.14.0-knotsbip148-rc1-INSECURE-TEST

This version makes your bitcoin node to from 2017 Aug start rejecting blocks that do not signal support for
Segregated Witness.

If enough people run this version, then
1) From August of 2017 all miners should at least signal support for future activation of SegWit  - otherwise their block will be rejected by your node right then from August, and if enough people do that then miners will be motivated to signal
2) Even before August 2017, your node will have user-agent version information that you do support this soft work (UASF) for segwit, causing more miners (and other users) to switch too

The code is NOT YET REVIEWED !!! this are experiments:
- - to see if our build infrastructure works fine
- - to possibly run this version on experimental nodes (do NOT run this on real node just yet, check in few days


Build (Gitian) results for me:
