CoinDesk reported that Simple Mining, a company operating bitcoin mining machines through the Ocean mining pool, rejected BIP-110 even though Ocean had been backing the proposal by default. The split came through Ocean’s software setup, which allows individual miners to make their own choice rather than follow the pool’s default stance automatically. According to the report, Simple Mining used that software and opted to go the other way. The article highlights a case where a miner’s position diverged from the mining pool it worked through, despite the pool’s stated default support for the proposal. The report was written by Shaurya Malwa and published by CoinDesk on Aug. 10, 2026.
