And I understand that Gavin is now proposing that a 75% su
As I've observed before, Gavin originally advocated either a 99% or
100% buy in by miners for a hard fork to trigger.

I don't understand why people (Gavin included) now seem to favour a
much more modest supermajority except perhaps that they believe t

Isn't that what the Alert mechanism is for? If these nodes continue running

I agree giving notice that the change is going to happen is critical for a
hard fork. If miners vote in favor, they need to give people time to
upgrade (or to decide to reject the fork).
The BIP 100 proposal is that no change will happen until a timestamp is
reached. It isn't clear exactly how i
I see it as unreasonable to expect all nodes to upgrade during a hardfork.
If you are intentionally waiting for that to happen, it's possible for an
extreme minority of nodes to hold the rest of the network hostage by simply
refusing to upgrade. However you want nodes to be able to protest until it
Hello all,
I've seen ideas around hard fork proposals that involve a block version
vote (a la BIP34, BIP66, or my more recent versionbits BIP draft). I
believe this is a bad idea, independent of what the hard fork itself is.
Ultimately, the purpose of a hard fork is asking the whole community to
