-BIP65 - CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY
----------------------------
-
-Previously it was impossible to create a transaction output that was guaranteed
-to be unspendable until a specific date in the future. CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY is a
-new opcode that allows a script to check if a specific block height or time has
-been reached, failing the script otherwise. This enables a wide variety of new
-functionality such as time-locked escrows, secure payment channels, etc.
-
-BIP65 implements CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY by introducing block version 4, which adds
-additional restrictions to the NOP2 opcode. The same miner-voting mechanism as
-in BIP34 and BIP66 is used: when 751 out of a sequence of 1001 blocks have
-version number 4 or higher, the new consensus rule becomes active for those
-blocks. When 951 out of a sequence of 1001 blocks have version number 4 or
-higher, it becomes mandatory for all blocks and blocks with versions less than
-4 are rejected.
-
-Bitcoin Core's block templates are now for version 4 blocks only, and any
-mining software relying on its `getblocktemplate` must be updated in parallel
-to use either libblkmaker version 0.4.3 or any version from 0.5.2 onward. If
-you are solo mining, this will affect you the moment you upgrade Bitcoin Core,
-which must be done prior to BIP65 achieving its 951/1001 status.  If you are
-mining with the stratum mining protocol: this does not affect you.  If you are
-mining with the getblocktemplate protocol to a pool: this will affect you at
-the pool operator's discretion, which must be no later than BIP65 achieving its
-951/1001 status.
