BIP-110 activation would create a chain split with non-signaling miners, posing real risks to miners who adopt it without clear network consensus.
Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (3 articles). Watching for it to gain traction.
Still mostly niche and specialist coverage — not yet picked up broadly by mainstream press.
"Miners signaled only 2.53% of the time in the preceding 2,016 blocks—far under the 55% level referenced for early activation. Without a substantially higher share of miner participation, an enforcing chain may struggle to grow."
"The breakaway chain could then, in theory, grow in prominence as more node operators come onboard thereby forcing the mining sector's hand or it could simply grind to a halt due to lack of support."
"BIP110 can and will cause a chain split/fork in a minority hashrate situation. BIP110 is NOT without risk to miners choosing to adopt it... realistically, only one side can win. It's either BIP110 succeeds, and miners not on the BIP110 side fail, or BIP110 fails, and miners on the non-BIP110 side succeed."
