BIP-110 Soft Fork Implodes: Mines Just Two Blocks Before Grinding to a Halt
Share:
A Bitcoin soft fork built around BIP-110 split from the main chain after block 961,632, with the Roughnecks pool mining exactly two blocks before the network's hashrate abandoned the fork. The failed test, aimed at forcing miners on data spam, shows minority node operators lack leverage without miner support and underscores Bitcoin consensus security and limited protocol or adoption impact for fork-driven initiatives in crypto.

A Bitcoin soft fork built around BIP-110 split from the main chain after block 961,632 this week, and it barely got off the ground. The pool backing it, Roughnecks, mined exactly two blocks before the rest of the network’s hashpower left it stranded.
The split was supposed to test whether a determined group of node operators could force miners to fall in line on data spam. Instead, it showed how little leverage a minority actually has once the hashrate refuses to follow.
