Making the case for flag day activation of taproot



Summary:

The conversation is regarding the activation of Taproot, with discussions on whether to proceed with a flag day activation or a BIP8 LOT=false deployment. While there is support for both options, some are concerned about the potential for divergent consensus rules on the network if BIP8 LOT=false is chosen. The possibility of a second Core deployment of LOT=true was also mentioned as a way to mitigate concerns with LOT=false. However, there are differing opinions on acceptable timelines and methods of activation. Some suggest starting with a short signaling period to see what happens, while others believe a flag day activation from the start would be more effective. Overall, there exist acceptable pathways towards activation, and forthcoming PRs will help determine the best approach.
