A temporary fork in the block chain which commonly occurs when
miners using non-upgraded nodes violate a new consensus rule
their nodes don't know about.
A softfork is a change to the bitcoin protocol
wherein only previously valid blocks/transactions
are made invalid. Since old nodes will recognise
the new blocks as valid, a softfork is backward-compatible.
