I haven&#39;t checked the reference&#xA;&gt; implementation, but I do think that the specification section should&#xA;&gt; explicitly handle this.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&#xA;Excellent point. That could only happen if activation happened on 11 Jan&#xA;2016; instead of complicating the code and spec with another condition, I&#xA;think it would be better to specify that the activation date is the later&#xA;of the miner supermajority and 11 Jan, with the first big block two weeks&#xA;later.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;-- &#xA;--&#xA;Gavin Andresen&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150622/adbbace4/attachment-0001.html&gt;</html></oembed>
