Michael Saylor: BIP-110 can no longer reach the 55% support threshold in this mining difficulty cycle

TechFlow reports, on August 1st, Strategy founder Michael Saylor stated in a post that within the current Bitcoin difficulty adjustment cycle, 946 blocks have been mined up to block height 960,561, among which only 24 blocks set the signal bit supporting BIP-110 in the block header version field.

Saylor stated that currently all support signals come from DATUM miners sharing rewards through the OCEAN mining pool, with zero support signals from miners outside OCEAN; therefore, within this difficulty cycle, BIP-110 has mathematically failed to reach the 55% voluntary support threshold required for passing, which does not indicate that miners have reached consensus.

He also pointed out that OCEAN has enabled BIP-110 signaling by default on existing endpoints, while the BIP-110 official guide recommends node operators use Bitcoin Knots and miners use DATUM. Therefore, he believes BIP-110 has actually become a joint promotion of the Bitcoin Knots and OCEAN/DATUM ecosystems, rather than broad miner consensus.

Saylor stated that before block height 961,632, the BIP-110 signaling mechanism remains voluntary; during the period from block 961,632 to 963,647, the relevant software will reject all blocks that do not send support signals; therefore, the "100% support rate" appearing in this phase is merely the result of rule enforcement, and does not mean miners voluntarily support it or the Bitcoin network has reached consensus.
