>=20
> To be clear, Bitcoin is not a democracy - if you find yourself using =
the term "voting" then you may be misunderstanding how consensus forms. =
Once a feature has been vetted and the code is deployed, miners may =
signal that they are ready to enforce new rules. If for some reason =
miners are too "passive or lazy" or wish to "veto" the activation of the =
new rules, users may choose to circumvent said veto by refusing to =
accept blocks that do not show readiness for enforcing the new rules.

How does the users show their opinion? They can fork away and leave. But =
what remains will be united. Are you afraid of the united users or the =
fork?

I agree with you that the =A1=B0vote=A1=B1 is not accurate. Could you =
kindly suggest an other word for that?

I think users should have choice to follow the miners or not. Do you =
agree with this or not?

Arrrgh. I think in the BIP, the miners just invalids tx version 1 =
temporarily. That=A1=AFs a =A1=B0soft fork=A1=B1 right? If they dislike =
the idea, they can leave as always.
