BIP-110 Soft Fork Splits Bitcoin Community as 15,000 Nodes Activate Amid Fierce Opposition
Bitcoin's BIP-110 soft fork is collapsing under near-zero miner support, fierce community opposition, and chain-split risk as its mandatory-signaling phase opens.
Over 15,000 Bitcoin nodes are now running BIP-110, a soft fork that limits data field sizes to curb on-chain data insertion, with supporters citing sovereignty and network verification. Critics including Adam Back label the effort 'idiocracy,' and longtime node operators argue BIP-110 fails to stop data insertion and amounts to virtue signaling. The dispute reflects deep disagreement over contentious consensus changes in Bitcoin.
