Topic: [testnet]Different wersions of block (Read 419 times)
Different block versions are present in both testnet and mainnet. It is used for signaling to activate soft forks. The first block version is version 1. Previous soft forks used a system called IsSuperMajority (ISM). These used fixed version numbers, consuming numbers 2, 3, and 4. We now use a new soft fork mechanism called BIP 9 Versionbits. BIP 9 specifies that all version numbers must have the top 3 bits of the version number be 001, which results in a version number of 0x20000000. From there, other bits are set for various soft forks, and unset once the fork has activated. For example, segwit uses bi 1, so setting bit 1 results in a version number of 0x20000002.
On testnet I have map where appears new version:
