Hi Bitcoin Developers,

I think CTV is not ready for activation yet. Although I want it to be activ=
ated and use payment pools, we still have some work to do and AJ is correct=
 that we need to build more apps that use CTV on signet.

Reasons:

- Apart from a few PoCs that do not achieve anything big on mainnet, nobody=
 has tried to build PoC for a use case that solves real problems
- There is a bounty of 0.01 BTC to 1 BTC for creating such PoCs: https://bi=
pbounty.org/bounties/1e101655-bad8-5147-82f7-f03145d567af/
- Some developers think TXHASH fixes all the issues although it doesn't so =
they need to be reviewed, tested and discussed
- There is no clarity on activation method for CTV
- Many users and developers believe timeline for activation is too aggressi=
ve, we should be patient and give more time for start and delay activation =
for 2 years

_reardencode_ is working on something which might improve things for CTV an=
d covenants in general.

I have created an issue and if someone could close it with a PR that would =
be helpful: https://github.com/bitcoin-inquisition/bitcoin/issues/44

I apologize if my email caused any drama although most personal attacks wer=
e targeted towards people supporting CTV including me. Maybe one day we wil=
l have covenants on bitcoin to improve scaling and privacy.
