What is&#xA;your exact proposal here? Algorithm? Parameters?&#xA;As you likely know a too short time window would be dangerous for&#xA;other reasons. Getting to an agreement as to what is reasonable or not&#xA;is not necessarily trivial.&#xA;&#xA;Jeremie&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;2016-03-02 16:14 GMT+01:00 Luke Dashjr via bitcoin-dev&#xA;&lt;bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&gt;:&#xA;&gt; On Wednesday, March 02, 2016 3:05:08 PM Pavel Janík wrote:&#xA;&gt;&gt; &gt; the network.

At least having code prepared for the negative&#xA;&gt; scenarios in case of an emergency seems reasonable, even if we don&#39;t end up&#xA;&gt; needing to deploy it.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; Luke&#xA;&gt; _______________________________________________&#xA;&gt; bitcoin-dev mailing list&#xA;&gt; bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&#xA;&gt; https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev</html></oembed>
