Review comments appreciated, and happy to discuss / answer questions about the
implementation in this thread or on Github.

BIP135: https://github.com/bitcoin
Hola,
I've submitted the generalized versionbits specification for BIP number
assignment:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/532
Your feedback and comments welcome.
The spec has been updated to include a link to the reference implementation.
I hope to find time soon to produce a similar refe
Dear all,
An initial reference implementation of bip-genvbvoting (spec: [1]) is now
available at

starting at commit fdd83383436ee43b072c258d4a6feb713902c77e .
This development is based against the Bitcoin Unlimited 'dev'

I still like the coinbase idea though - more than using up the BIP9
Thomas,
I wonder if you've seen my proposal on how to make BIP9 more configurable:
https://github.com/sanch0panza/bips/blob/bip-genvbvoting/bip-genvbvoting.mediawiki
This could be extended with a coinbase signaling feature as you suggest.
This could include parameter information for forks which a

I tend to agree, if all 32 bits were given up to grinding.
But it's worth pointing out that BIP9 is purely informational, and th
Hi,
The link below includes documentation about a proposed CSV-based file format
for fork deployment data (tentative config filename: forks.csv). This is
planned to be used by my reference implementation of bip-genvbvoting (which is
still in development - TBA later).

This situation applies to soft forks as well.

Hi all,
I have put up an initial draft of the full 'bip-genvbvoting' (generalized
version bits voting) specification for review:
https://github.com/sanch0panza/bips/blob/bip-genvbvoting/bip-genvbvoting.mediawiki
Comments are again most welcome - and my thanks to those reviewers who took a
look

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback.
I'll post a link to more refined proposal on github once that elaboration is
more complete.
For now I think more discussion will be very helpful.
I think the flexibility around the tallying window size will take the most
careful consideration, so that a user of this propo
�Hola!
Please find below a proposal [resubmission] for a new informational BIP
provisionally named 'bip-genvbvoting'.
I present it here in rough draft for your esteemed consideration and as
a basis for discussion.
Best regards,
