Miner enforcement of BIP148 #4

Closed chrisacheson closed 7 years ago

This section is incorrect:

What do miners need to do to enforce BIP148?

Miners should update their mining software to produce blocks with version bit 1 enabled prior to August 1st, 2017. Miners do not need to create SegWit blocks or make any other changes. After activation of SegWit, at a minimum, miners should also make sure they have a border node that filters out invalid blocks.

Miners need to be running a BIP148 node. Signalling segwit support is not enough. If a miner is signalling for segwit but not enforcing BIP148, on August 1st they'll follow the wrong side of the chain split.

This is covered in the Border Node case. Border Nodes will prevent them from following the wrong chain.

Wording is unclear. An alternative:

Prior to August 1st, 2017, miners should either:

  1. Update their node software to a BIP148-enforcing version; or
  2. Run a BIP148 border node to filter out invalid blocks, and update their existing mining software to produce blocks with version 1 bit enabled, to vote for Segwit activation
