📝 Original message:I've written a new BIP draft for OP_CHECKBLOCKVERSION to allow the community
to put economic pressure on miners to deploy softforks without the extreme of
a UASF.
https://github.com/luke-jr/bips/blob/bip-cbv/bip-cbv.mediawiki
Due to the potential for miners to maliciously block this softfork, it is
suggested that we deploy it using BIP 8 to ensure it eventually activates even
if encountering hostility.
This is intended to be an alternative to BIP 8 in the long term.
It is NOT intended to make BIP 148 obsolete, given the timeframes involved.
An implementation is available (based on top of BIP 115's implementation):
