This is the first of a series of BIPs describing my “spoonnet” experimental hardfork. Recently many bitcoin businesses expressed their requirements for supporting a hardfork proposal. While it is proven to be extremely difficult to obtain community-wide consensus, spoonnet fulfills all the commonly requested features, including deterministic activation logic, strong and simple 2-way replay protection, wipe-out protection, and predictable resources use. A few more BIPs are coming to describe these features.

The activation is purely based on flag day. Since it is very difficult to measure community consensus on-chain, this may only be done off-chain, and everyone switch to the new software when the vast majority agree. This is more a social issue than a technical one.


Interesting to read.
Technical view.
