Title: List of BIPs?
Post by: kevin_ on December 09, 2019, 04:51:59 PM
Where can I find a complete and detailed list of BIPs? (possibly other than GitHub)

Edit: I just noticed third party sites are not allowed in this sub, please pm me instead
Thanks

If you only meant approved BIP, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bips (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips)

But if you're looking for all BIP (including rejected or pending ones), AFAIK there's no such lists, you need to find each rejected/pending BIP by yourself.
Usually it's located on git repository where they made the application or mailing list (e.g. https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev (https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev))

there is nothing wrong with GitHub so there is no point in creating another site for listing BIPs which is why there are none available. some very popular BIPs might have been explained elsewhere also such as BIP32 and they also are linked in bitcoin wiki page. but there is no dedicated website listing all other than GitHub.

there is no rule saying you can't post link to another website here in this board or any other board, as long as it is not for spamming or advertisement.

If you only meant approved BIP, see url]https://github.com/bitcoin/bips[/url]
not exactly "approved". BIPs are just "proposals", some of them are already part of bitcoin consensus (if they are consensus related, if not they are there and you can use them or not like BIP178), some are rejected, some are deprecated by a new version, some are withdrawn,...
check out the "status" column of the table at the bottom.
withdrawn: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0012.mediawiki
replaced: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0020.mediawiki

basically any proposal that is "ready to be proposed" is placed in there. if they are in early stages, incomplete, need more testing,... they are discussed elsewhere like on mailing list and usually reside in repository of the proposer then added to the list when they are complete.

Here's the correct link for the implemented BIPs by Bitcoin Core: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/bips.md (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/bips.md)

BIP means Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (Bitcoin Wiki (https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Bitcoin_Improvement_Proposals))

Thanks, I guess I simply overlooked this repo, now I found what I've been looking for.

GitHub actually has the complete list: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips. A list of all the proposals submitted is here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/README.mediawiki
