I don't fully understand how version bits voting works, but I'm trying familiarize myself with the current options.
Are these the most popular for voting at the moment?
0x20000000 = Bitcoin Unlimited?
0x20000002 = Segwit?
0x20000007 = XT?
0x30000000 = 2MB Blocks?
Is there a list of them in one place anywhere?
Also, is it correct to say that each vote corresponds to a specific BIP?
3They're not actually votes though. Any majority of miners can start enforcing a new rule - they don't need to indicate it in blocks, or even tell anyone about it. What version bits does is providing a way to signal readiness, so that a safe and coordinated transition point can be found. – Pieter Wuille – 2017-01-01T13:14:24.960
I know it has taken a while, but thanks to your help I was able to create a page that breaks the nVersion field down in to bits to show the different signals: http://learnmeabitcoin.com/browser/block/version/20000002. Hopefully anyone else reading this may find it useful.
