Bitcoin’s BIP 110 Fork Deadline Nears With Miner Support at Zero

Bitcoin’s BIP 110 proposal is nearing a hard deadline in early August, but miner signaling support is at zero in the current period and has never topped about 1%. According to CoinDesk, the “Reduced Data Temporary Soft Fork” would temporarily restrict arbitrary data on Bitcoin for one year, including capping OP_RETURN and blocking most data chunks above 256 bytes. Strategy founder Michael Saylor and Blockstream co-founder Adam Back opposed the plan, warning it could turn a spam dispute into a risky consensus fight. The voluntary lock-in deadline is block 961,542, expected in early August.
