Title: A few questions about mining
Post by: indade on October 15, 2021, 09:44:25 AM
Hello,

I'm looking for answers to a few questions to use in an academic study. Thank you all in advance.

What kind of system is used to vote for miners soft fork acceptance? 192.168.l.l (https://192168ll.one/)
Who initiates the voting, asks questions to the miners and waits for an answer of acceptance or rejection?
How does this vote come to miners, how do they see it, and how can they vote to accept or reject? 10.0.0.1 (https://10001.dev/)
In short, if you have any information about how the processes related to this miner voting are, I would like to learn superficially.
192.168.0.1 (https://19216801.life/)
Sorry, my English is not very good.

Thanks in advance for your help.

How did you get so far in education without knowing how to use internet search engines?

In short, if you have any information about how the processes related to this miner voting are, I would like to learn superficially.

I would start with these 2 links:
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/56924/what-does-signal-and-lock-in-mean-in-a-bip
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_Improvement_Proposals

Possibly the first one already gives you the "superficial" info you need.

There are three questions that are asked and must be answered to make your study.

The three questions answered take 3 pages to explain, so you can see below, to save writing space.

What kind of system is used to vote for miners soft fork acceptance?
the answer to this you can read here: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/soft-fork.asp

Who initiates the voting, asks questions to the miners and waits for an answer of acceptance or rejection?
The answer to the second question, you can see here: Bitcoin’s Elegant Upgrade Mechanism: Miner Voting (https://blog.coinbase.com/bitcoin-s-elegant-upgrade-mechanism-miner-voting-66faa35d27af)

How does this vote come to miners, how do they see it, and how can they vote to accept or reject?
for this question you can see and read here: Bitcoin and Voting Power (https://hackingdistributed.com/2014/06/19/bitcoin-and-voting-power/) or here: How does miner voting work (https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/45797/how-does-miner-voting-work)
