BTC news: Bitcoin split after BIP-110 fails, the new chain stopped after two blocks
Only 2.53% of blocks signaled support, leaving the breakaway chain with two blocks and no miner willing to continue it.
- The BIP-110-enforcing branch stalled at block 961,633 on Sunday after splitting from Bitcoin on Saturday, producing only two blocks while the main chain advanced to 961,721, widening the gap to 88 blocks.
- BIP-110 supporters split from Bitcoin on Saturday after failing to reach the 55% signaling threshold needed for activation, with the fork beginning at block 961,632 when enforcing nodes rejected non-signaling blocks.
- Bitcoin recalculates mining difficulty every 2,016 blocks, preventing the stalled chain from adjusting until completion; the monitor estimates this will take 350 days versus 14 days for Bitcoin.
- Both chains accept identical transactions, allowing a signed transaction sending fork coins to work on Bitcoin; users should track this risk, as a buyer could rebroadcast to collect real BTC from the same seller.
- Blockstream CEO Adam Back and Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor opposed BIP-110, arguing it threatens Bitcoin's neutral rules and consensus, while supporters claim storing non-financial data clogs the network and increases costs.
