I thought we had decided that the masking thing doesn't work as
intended?
To recap, XT nodes are producing blocks with nVersion=3D0b001...111
You're suggesting that we apply a mask of ~0b001...111 then trigger the
soft-fork on nVersion >=3D 0b0...100 =3D=3D 4, with miners producing blocks=
with
nVersion=3D0b0...1000
That will work, but it still uses up a version bit. The reason why is
blocks with nVersion=3D0b001...000 - the intended deployment of the
nVersion bits proposal - will be rejected by the nVersion >=3D 4 rule,
hard-forking them off the network. In short, we have in fact "burnt" a
version bit unnecessarily.
If you're going to accept hard-forking some people off the network, why
not just go with my stateless nVersion bits w/ time-expiration proposal
instead? The only case where it leads to a hard-fork is if a soft-fork
has been rejected by the time the upgrade deadline is reached. It's easy
to set this multiple years into the future, so I think in practice it
won't be a major issue for non-controversial soft-forks.
Equally, spending the time to implement the original stateful nVersion
bits proposal is possible as well, though higher risk due to the extra
complexity of tracking soft-fork state.
