BIP-110 Fork Chain Stalls After Mining Just 2 Blocks in 8 Hours

Just two blocks have been mined on a minority Bitcoin fork run by BIP-110 supporters over an eight-hour stretch, and the chain has since stalled. In that same period, Bitcoin's main chain produced 48 blocks, showing how far apart the two networks are. BIP-110 is a proposal that would temporarily forbid the storage of non-financial data, including images and plain text, in Bitcoin transactions. Proponents say this could ease network congestion and bring down transaction fees. Critics argue that the change would prevent users from doing what they like with block space they have already paid for. The fork chain currently draws only 2.53% mining support, a level so low that block production is extremely slow and meeting the signaling deadline looks difficult. There is also a caution for users: selling the forked tokens while spending main-chain bitcoin could expose them to a replay-attack-like risk. The details come from Odaily's report.
