According to ChainCatcher, the BIP-110 soft fork has stalled, with thousands of nodes isolated after signaling support peaked at just 2.53% — far below the 55% threshold. The Bitcoin BIP editorial team, acting on Monday just two days after the events, stripped Luke Dashjr of his editorial permissions. Dashjr had been the lead proponent of the proposal. Editor Mark Erhardt moved for his removal, citing conflicts of interest, minimal contributions, involvement in a contentious fork, and a breakdown in coordination. Supporters argue Dashjr used his editorial role to favor BIP-110, assigning it a number before mailing-list discussions and merging pull requests quickly, while contributing under 1% since April 2024. The forced chain remains stuck at height 961,633. Ocean, the only mining pool that had signaled before the fork, has now resumed non-BIP-110 work. Four minutes before the removal was confirmed, Dashjr announced he was pausing his duties as Ocean chairman and CTO to focus on Bitcoin open-source projects. He continues as lead maintainer of Bitcoin Knots. Bitcoin’s price was unaffected by the news.
