    Thanks for doing this for me!

  4. in bip-0065.mediawiki: in 3ab04a6562
    280+66, with the same thresholds, but for nVersion = 4. The new rules are
    281+in effect for every block (at height H) with nVersion = 4 and at least
    282+750 out of 1000 blocks preceding it (with heights H-1000..H-1) also
    283+have nVersion = 4. Furthermore, when 950 out of the 1000 blocks
    284+preceding a block do have nVersion = 4, nVersion = 3 blocks become
    285+invalid, and all further blocks enforce the new rules.

    What? I thought the plan was to have nVersion=3 blocks remain valid after this softfork? Otherwise we lose another bit forever…

    petertodd commented at 4:42 pm on October 23, 2015:
    1. We don’t lose another bit.

    2. The existing IsSuperMajority() mechanism can’t do that safely, as it’d mean the soft-fork could be reversed after the fact. The nVersion bits mechanism needs to record state to do this safely.

    For others who might read this…

    I was elaborately updated on the rationale on IRC: Essentially the plan is for versionbits to unburn all the lower bits at once by burning a higher one. While it might be nice not to even temporarily burn this one here, the code/testing overhead isn’t worth it.
