Bip300 does not require nodes to function. Miners can start using this technologyband it won't affect the fundamentals of bitcoin.
There will still only be 21 million bitcoin, nodes will still work the way they have.
It's the equivalent of a mcdonalds franchise in Japan serving sushi, but not serving sushi in texas. It's an opt-in change.
All changes in the bitcoin consensus rules require the nodes to adopt the new rules to validate the blocks produced by miners. Without the nodes accepting BIP300 blocks as valid and forwarding the blocks, those blocks don’t get added to the chain
what do you mean by bip300 block ?
How does bip 300 change consensus rules ?
From the BIP specification:
“Bip300 allows for six new blockchain messages (these have consensus significance)”
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0300.mediawiki#user-content-Specification
Global consensus or sidechain consensus ?
Are the messages intended for miners or miners and nodes for verificatoon, conf, ect ?
There are no side chains as of now so it looks like we are talking past each other. FWIW, my nodes will not be supporting BIP 300 for the foreseeable future
There is a drivechain test net with several active sidechains including a a zcash and lightning clone.
I asked a simple questions about bip300 design and you are bailing out. If i'm correct, miners don't need you to run it on your node. Bip300 consensus is describing consensus among other miners, messaging and voting is among miners, not nodes and miners like blocks, transactions ect.
