We create here Open Letters to invide leaders of Bitcoin industry to express their support for various Bitcoin improvements.
Leaders could sign an agreement to conditionally support and coordinate rolling out support for given BIP, in conditional form if they can reach overwhelming majority:
I will promote .... as Bitcoin, IF at least 80% of other actors also say so too.
Currently proposed open letters to leaders:
Pros of such agreement:
- The leaders can safely support it, with no fear to be left behind in minority.
- BIPs that are in demand by majority of economy behind Bitcoin can be supported - even if miners would be rogue (e.g. favoring short-term income wit patented ASICBOOST tricks).
- Create list of the biggest actors: exchanges, pools, e-shops and such.
- Publish that list here.
- Create proposed agreement, e.g. to promote BIP148 as the Bitcoin they support if 80% of other actors also vote sign this agreement and vote YES to support it.
- Contact each players to get his official public promise that he will support this conditions.
- If selected threshold of support is reached: all Players will do as they agreed, or face losing credibility in provable way.
