TechFlame News: A minor Bitcoin fork chain supporting BIP-110 split at block height 961,632, and stalled after mining only 2 blocks in roughly 8 hours. It now lags the Bitcoin mainnet by over 80 blocks.
The fork chain inherited Bitcoin's current difficulty, but only about 2.53% of recent blocks signaled support for BIP-110—far below the 55% activation threshold needed to avoid a fork. Bitcoin only adjusts its difficulty every 2,016 blocks, and at current hashrate, the chain is projected to take around 350 days before its next adjustment.
BIP-110 proposes temporarily banning non-financial data like images and text from being written into Bitcoin transactions. Michael Saylor noted that about 99.85% of Bitcoin's hashrate remains on the mainnet; since both chains accept identical transactions, transactions on the minority chain could be replayed onto the Bitcoin mainnet.
