Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies - Quiz 3 Problem 7

Which of the following requires a hard fork? (check all that apply)

Disabling the OP_SHA1 instructionWrong 
A requirement that each transaction have its outputs sorted by value in ascending (or non-decreasing) orderWrong
Increasing the maximum permitted size of blocksCorrect
Decreasing the maximum permitted size of blocksWrong

Hard fork happens only if invalid block becomes valid. Only in case 3 this happens.

Disabling an instruction will make valid block invalid, not vice-versa

Require sorting will make valid block invalid, not vice-versa

Increasing the block size limit from, say, 100 to 120 will make block of size 110 valid which was invalid before, that's a hard fork.

Decreasing block size will make valid block invalid, not vice-versa
