8.6 Taproot Softfork Activation in Bitcoin || Andrew Chow

Andrew Chow thinks there’s a rough consensus to deploy Taproot via BIP 8 softfork, which uses the Bitcoin block height instead of timestamps for timing coordination. There’s contention on if miners should activate via readiness signaling, or if users should enforce the activation in any case. Speedy Trial is supposed to achieve swift miner signaling.
