This PR adds a SIP specifying

  • how to remove the cool down cycle.
  • how to streamline solo stacking and delegated stacking
  • how to improve the relationship between signers and stackers

Thanks for adding this Friedger! I look forward to the proposed changes going live.

Added some minor comments about typos.

In the SIP I would also like to read how a transition from PoX-4 to PoX-5 would influence the sBTC protocol and how potential risks or other complexities are mitigated and/or dealt with.

## Transition to PoX-5

A new PoX contract requires that all stacked Stacks tokens are unlocked and Stackers need to lock their Stacks token again using the new PoX-5 contract. The process shall be similar to the previous upgrades of the PoX contract. PoX-4 contract shall be deactivated and PoX-5 contract shall be activated at the beginning of epoch 3.2 All locked Stacks tokens shall be unlocked automatically 1 block after the beginning of epoch 3.2.

I think this section should be a bit more elaborate because it should cover potential complexities/risks related to sBTC and its dependence on PoX.

There are still a few open design questions. Main discussion so far should happen on https://forum.stacks.org/t/remove-cool-down-cycle-in-stacking/17899/13
