Hi all,

Luke Dashjr is telling me that BIP 20 was accepted as Final a year ago (before the BIP process existed).

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Improvement_Proposals


I respectfully disagree. I find it nonsensical to have a BIP to have been accepted before the BIP process existed. My feeling is that a BIP needs to go through the proper formalised motions in public before becoming accepted.

The URI Scheme did not go through these motions. I did not know it was even accepted, and at least 2 implementations have objected to the standard as is. This is problematic because a standard is meant to be consensus building not enforcement from above.

Ergo I am going to say:

NO BIP EXISTED BEFORE THE BIP PROCESS.

NEW BIPS ARE ALWAYS DRAFT STATUS.

BIPS CHANGE STATUS AS SPECIFIED IN BIP 0001

Luke claims I do not have the ability to specify those conditions above.

If there are any objections then please tell me. I did not get to observe the process for BIP 20, therefore I am not accepting it. Anybody is welcome to submit a competing BIP to Luke's BIP 20 (as has happened with BIP 16 and 17).
