BIP-110 fork stalls after just two blocksThe BIP-110 branch is basically stuck. After mandatory signaling began, the enforcing chain mined only two blocks and stopped at block 961,633, while the normal Bitcoin chain kept moving to 961,721.
That’s already an 88-block gap.
What it means:— BIP-110 entered mandatory signaling at block 961,632.
— Only 51 of the previous 2,016 blocks supported it.
— That’s just 2.53% signaling support.
— Without real hashpower, the enforcing branch is stuck at full Bitcoin difficulty.
Context:— Roughnecks mined the first two BIP-110 blocks through Ocean’s DATUM setup.
— Mandatory signaling continues until block 963,647.
— The branch needs to survive the full difficulty period before any adjustment.
— Saylor and Adam Back have both warned that this approach risks Bitcoin’s neutrality and credibility.
Bottom line: BIP-110 wanted to “clean up” Bitcoin, but miners are not following. For now, the market signal is brutal: almost nobody is willing to put serious hashpower behind this fork.
