The upgrades are triggered by a super-majority of blocks of a certain version. This version maps to a possible new consensus rule. Block creation is a product of computational work. Therefore there is a precedent for CPUs&#x2F;ASICs voting on the consensus rules of the system.<p>&gt; ISM is used for soft-fork upgrades, which do not change existing consensus rules.<p>&quot;Soft-forks&quot; do change existing consensus rules. Will a miner&#x27;s v1 blocks be accepted by the majority of the network today?
