Floppy (@1440000bytes) has been doing the yoeman's work in getting people to actually talk to each other and put their thoughts down about the various soft fork proposals out there.
Here is a post to the Bitcoin developer mailing list today. I'm not a developer nor any kind of expert on soft fork consensus building, but I like how he is going about it. I'm curious for other people's reactions.
Hi everyone,IRC channel: #ctv-csfs-activation on libera.chatI requested1 the economic nodes to review different soft fork proposals and share their opinion on 5 March 2025. Four entries were added to the wiki2 and nobody has any objections to the proposals. Some organizations do not want to publicly participate in this process to avoid politics and drama.A letter3 was signed on 9 June 2025 by bitcoin developers to get more core contributors involved in the review process. It was followed by a proposal4 that makes a few changes to CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY and combines it with CHECKSIGFROMSTACK. Personally, I don't like that TEMPLATEHASH is restricted to taproot and don't see anything wrong with CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY. However, other developers may disagree with me and have different opinion. I have created an IRC channel for workshops, meetings, activation, etc.We can finalize a meeting schedule so we can use the IRC channel to move closer to covenants activation on bitcoin.
