Both currently # Treat transactions with a version greater than 1 as non-standard (official Satoshi client will not mine or relay them). # Add height as the first item in the coinbase transaction's scriptSig, and increase block version to 2. The format of the height is "minimally encoded serialized CScript" -- first byte is number of bytes in the number (will be 0x03 on main net for the next 150 or so years with 223-1 blocks), following bytes are little-endian representation of the number (including a sign bit). Height is the height of the mined block in the block chain, where the genesis block is height zero (0). +# For new chains (such as [[bip-0325.mediawiki|signet]] or [[bip-0094.mediawiki|testnet4]]) that enforce this rule immediately after the genesis block, "minimally encoded serialized CScript" results in a different encoding for blocks at heights 1-16: those values must be encoded as the single byte 0x51 to 0x60 (OP_1..OP_16), with no "number of bytes" prefix. Note that the minimum length of the coinbase transaction's scriptSig is two bytes, so the height push alone is insufficient for blocks 1-16.
