==Specification==
Each soft fork deployment is specified by the following parameters (further elaborated below):
# 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.
# The '''threshold''' specifies how many blocks within a single retarget period (2016 blocks) must have the bit set before we lock in the deployment.
# The '''timeout''' specifies a time at which the deployment is considered failed. If the median time 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.
