StackExchange question on the threshold percentage: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/102684/what-is-the-point-of-miner-signaling-in-a-soft-fork-activation-mechanism-what-s/

Some aj math on the impact threshold percentage has on mined invalid block being in longest valid chain for different durations of time: https://twitter.com/ajtowns/status/1321277134225043457

nickler quick & dirty simulation showing that the probability of unupdated nodes to be on a >=2 block invalid chain is increased by about 4x. It assumes the worst case that lagging miners don't update after lock-in & accept non-standard transactions. https://github.com/jonasnick/bip8-tester/blob/master/threshold.py

If needed original harding wiki on the different activation proposals. We (hopefully) seem to have landed on BIP 8(1 year) https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Taproot_activation_proposals
