Chun,

With all due respect, there are a couple major differences between BIP34 =
and BIP66 on the one hand and BIP100 on the other.

1) BIP34 and BIP66 are soft forks. Miners choosing to switch to them =
will not seriously impact validation rules for non-mining users that do =
not make the switch. With BIP66, the worst that can happen to them is =
noncompliant transactions will no longer be accepted by the =
network=E2=80=A6but even nodes that do not switch over will continue to =
remain synched with the network.

2) BIP100 has direct economic consequences=E2=80=A6and particularly for =
miners. It lends itself to much greater corruptibility.
