BIP-110 Bitcoin branch stalls after two blocks as gap widens
The enforcing fork remains stuck at Bitcoin’s full mining difficulty as mandatory signaling proceeds with little hashpower support.
The BIP-110 Bitcoin branch has stalled after producing only two blocks, while the non-enforcing chain has advanced to 961,721, widening the gap to 88 blocks. This divergence began after BIP-110 entered mandatory signaling at block 961,632, with only 51 of the preceding 2,016 blocks signaling support. The enforcing branch must now mine through the remainder of the 2,016-block adjustment period before its difficulty can adjust, making progress slow without substantially more hashpower.
BIP-110 has faced opposition from prominent Bitcoin advocates, with concerns over its potential impact on Bitcoin's neutral rules and consensus.
