BIP99: Motivation and deployment of consensus rule changes

This BIP attempts to classify all possible scenarios for consensus rule changes (soft/hard forks) as well as recommending a deployment path for each of them. It also contains code proposing a first uncontroversial hardfork that conclusively fixes the timewarp attack: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/compare/0.11...jtimon:hardfork-timewarp-0.11 The recommended activation conditions for uncontroversial hardforks are still being discussed in http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-de

Specification

This BIP attempts to classify all possible scenarios for consensus rule changes (soft/hard forks) as well as recommending a deployment path for each of them.

It also contains code proposing a first uncontroversial hardfork that conclusively fixes the timewarp attack: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/compare/0.11...jtimon:hardfork-timewarp-0.11

The recommended activation conditions for uncontroversial hardforks are still being discussed in http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-July/009731.html

More general discussion about the BIP can still continue in http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-June/008936.html
