Bitcoin's New Rule BIP-110 Needs Miner Approval, But Support is Low

C

Bitcoin’s BIP-110, a new network rule, is now active and requires miner signaling. However, fewer than 3% of miners currently support it. This tests the network's ability to adapt without widespread miner consensus, with hard-fork talks emerging.


A significant new Bitcoin improvement proposal, known as BIP-110, has officially entered its mandatory signaling phase. This crucial step requires Bitcoin miners to actively indicate their support for the proposed change. However, current data reveals a notable challenge: less than three percent of the mining community has signaled their approval. This situation creates a critical test for the Bitcoin network's resilience. It will demonstrate if core network nodes can successfully implement the update, even with such limited initial miner agreement. Discussions have also begun regarding a potential 'hard fork' as a fallback, which would involve a major software update if broader consensus isn't achieved.
