Bitcoin BIP-110 Enters Forced Signaling Phase, Miner Support Rate Below 3%

TechFlow news, August 9, according to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin Improvement Proposal BIP-110 entered the mandatory signaling phase at block 961,632, with miners signaling support in only 51 out of the previous 2,016 blocks, a support rate of 2.53%, far below the early activation threshold of 55%. Nodes enforcing BIP-110 began rejecting blocks that did not set version bit 4, causing minority forks to appear briefly but quickly fall behind the main chain.

The proposal was authored by developer Dathon Ohm, proposing consensus restrictions for approximately one year, including limiting new output scripts to 34 bytes and capping OP_RETURN outputs at 83 bytes, etc., aimed at suppressing non-monetary data such as inscriptions. Critics Michael Saylor and Adam Back pointed out that the proposal could split the Bitcoin network. Developer Chris Guida has prepared PoW change code as an alternative solution.
