According to Bitcoin News, bitcoin mining pool OCEAN has officially dropped support for the BIP-110 fork chain, citing limited mining activity and a switch in proof-of-work to Blake2b. OCEAN will not adopt or support the BIP-110 hard fork and has stopped paying BIP-110 block rewards. The BIP-110 chain ground to a halt after a user-activated soft fork attempt on August 8 failed; rewards mined after the fork could not be spent because they never cleared 100 confirmations, and OCEAN says they are now frozen permanently at BIP-110 block 961,639. Miners who want to continue supporting BIP-110 have been pointed to CONVOY Mining, which intends to support the Blake2b hard fork while preserving BIP-110 share records.

Bitcoin mining pool OCEAN has ended support for the BIP-110 fork chain, according to Bitcoin News. The pool pointed to limited mining activity and a shift toward Blake2b proof-of-work.

OCEAN said it will not adopt or support the BIP-110 hard fork, nor will it keep paying BIP-110 block rewards. The BIP-110 chain stalled after a user-activated soft fork attempt failed on August 8. Post-fork rewards never reached the required 100 confirmations, leaving miners unable to use them. OCEAN says those rewards are now permanently frozen at BIP-110 block 961,639.

Miners who still want to back BIP-110 have been directed to CONVOY Mining. The firm plans to support the Blake2b hard fork while carrying forward BIP-110's share records.
