Hey everyone,

I have been working on an update to the BIP Process. After drafting in my own repository for some months, I opened a pull request to the BIPs Repository in early December. The proposal has gone through two more rounds of review since then and was assigned BIP 3 in early January. I have concluded my planned work on the proposal.

If you are interested in the BIP Process, I would appreciate your review. Please share your suggestions and concerns, or raise issues that you would like to see addressed before the proposal is merged or activated. Please also feel free to state your support on the PR, if you are so inclined after your review.

You can find the proposal here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1712

Thanks, Murch

Dear colleagues,

BIP3 got merged as Draft on the 20th of February and got one more minor update since then. I haven’t received any further input in over three weeks, so it seems to me that BIP3 is complete and may be ready for adoption. I recommend that it be advanced to Proposed here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1794

Please let me know if you have any more review comments, suggestions, or concerns either here, on the linked pull request, or by email.

Thanks, Murch

Hi Murch,

Thanks for working on this. I just caught up with the latest version of BIP3 and i agree it seems ready for adoption. Can the other BIP editors please weigh in on this topic?

I have left some wording nits in a PR to the BIP repository. I have also played with the new format by porting my recent Consensus Cleanup BIP draft to BIP3. As the changes were minimal, i also ported the Miniscript BIP by pretending it was Final. If anyone's curious the diff is available here: https://github.com/darosior/bips/pull/1.

So.. tested ACK, i guess?

Best, Antoine
