Each soft fork deployment is specified by the following per-chain parameters (further elaborated below):
-# The '''name''' specifies a very brief description of the soft fork, reasonable for use as an identifier.
+# The '''name''' specifies a very brief description of the soft fork, reasonable for use as an identifier. For deployments described in a single BIP, it is recommended to use the name "bipN" where N is the appropriate BIP number.
# The '''bit''' determines which bit in the nVersion field of the block is to be used to signal the soft fork lock-in and activation. It is chosen from the set {0,1,2,...,28}.
# The '''starttime''' specifies a minimum median time past of a block at which the bit gains its meaning.
# The '''timeout''' specifies a time at which the deployment is considered failed. If the median time past of a block >= timeout and the soft fork has not yet locked in (including this block's bit state), the deployment is considered failed on all descendants of the block.
