Minimizing disruption?
A 55% threshold will not cause disruption. Everyone will have plenty of time to upgrade.
You do know that just repeating this claim like a mantra doesn’t actually make it so, right?
If someone can argue coherently as to why it's wrong, I will change my mind. I have only heard incoherent FUD up until now.
Incoherent FUD like this proposed guide?
Social consensus is overwhelmingly in favor of rejecting data storage as a use case, and BIP-110 is the best way to accomplish this. If someone finds a better way, I will withdraw BIP-110. Failing that, there is absolutely no reason to oppose BIP-110.
If 2016 blocks is plenty of time to upgrade, why not just have BIP 110 activate 2016 blocks from now?
You cannot be serious.
Isn't it the case that waiting to activate until you see 95% of miners signalling reduces the likelihood of lengthy reorgs?
at 55% of miners, there are still a large chunk of miners who will be mining non-BIP-110 blocks. the 55% will have to reorg out these blocks every time they occur. This seems like it would be a pretty messy process and could go on for quite some time.
I would expect such a situation to result in very few people making any transactions at all, because confirmation becomes highly unreliable.
"at 55% of miners, there are still a large chunk of miners who will be mining non-BIP-110 blocks"
This is a very dubious claim. Why would any miner waste money like this?
Remember, all miners have 2 weeks to upgrade once lock-in occurs, before their blocks will start being orphaned by the network.
I have not heard a convincing rationale as to why this would be better.
