Bitcoin BIP-110 Enters Mandatory Signaling Phase Amid Low Miner Support
Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) 110 has entered its mandatory-signaling phase at block 961,632. This milestone tests whether supporters can advance a contentious consensus change without broad miner backing.
The proposal, written by pseudonymous developer Dathon Ohm, seeks temporary limits on Bitcoin data. It would limit most new output scripts to 34 bytes and cap OP_RETURN outputs at 83 bytes, among other restrictions.
Miners have signaled support in just 51 of the preceding 2,016 blocks, or 2.53%, well below the 55% threshold required for early activation. This low signaling rate makes a sustained rival chain unlikely without greater miner participation.
