Asaf Fulks on Nostr: Consensus Change Standards — my legal and technical framework for Bitcoin protocol ...

Consensus Change Standards — my legal and technical framework for Bitcoin protocol governance — is out in a Fourth Edition.

It's a 20-point scorecard for whether a proposed change to Bitcoin's rules is ready to activate, plus the legal exposure a rushed one can create. A few key changes this edition:

• A two-page Summary for Policymakers up front
• SegWit2x added as a third scored example, alongside Taproot and BIP-110
• Chain-split risk tied to the standard math — a computable cliff
• Expanded legal analysis under California law (developer and mining-pool-operator duties)
