Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Swift Activation - CTV
Precedence: list

Hello World,

Note: This is not an attack on bitcoin. This is an email with some text and=
 links. Users can decide what works best for themselves. There is also scop=
e for discussion about changing method or params.

I want to keep it short and no energy left. I have explored different optio=
ns for activation and this feels the safest at this point in 2023. I have n=
ot done any magic or innovation but updated activation params. If you agree=
 with them, please run this client else build your own. Anyone who calls th=
is attack and do not build alternative option is an attack in itself.

It activates CTV which is simple covenant proposal and achieves what we exp=
ect it to. It is upgradeable.  I like simple things, at least to start with=
.

Activation parameters:=20

```
        consensus.vDeployments[Consensus::DEPLOYMENT_COVTOOLS].nStartTime =
=3D 1704067200;
        consensus.vDeployments[Consensus::DEPLOYMENT_COVTOOLS].nTimeout =3D=
 1727740800;
        consensus.vDeployments[Consensus::DEPLOYMENT_COVTOOLS].min_activati=
on_height =3D 874874;=20
```

I need payment pools and it does it for me. Apart from that it enables vaul=
ts, congestion control etc. We have more PoCs for CTV than we had for tapro=
ot and I understand it better.

If you agree with me, please build and run this client before 01 Jan 2024 e=
lse we can discuss ordinals for next 5 years and activate something in 2028=
.

Cheers
