Miner Rejects BIP-110 Even Before Soft Fork Collapses Completely

TL;DR

• Simple Mining rejected BIP-110 while using Ocean’s DATUM protocol, mining block 961,634 on Bitcoin’s main chain without signaling support for the proposal.
• BIP-110 support peaked near 2.6% of hashrate, far below its 55% target, and the minority branch produced only two blocks before stalling.
• Both chains inherited 127.48T difficulty, leaving the low-hashrate fork unable to progress normally while Bitcoin’s main chain moved more than 200 blocks ahead.

A bitcoin miner rejected BIP-110 before the proposed soft fork’s minority chain fully stalled, highlighting how little mining support the controversial plan had secured. Simple Mining, operating through Ocean’s pool with the DATUM protocol, produced block 961,634 on Bitcoin’s main chain without signaling for the proposal. The decision was striking because Ocean had supported BIP-110 by default, yet DATUM let the miner choose independently. Support for the proposal had peaked near 2.6% of hashrate, dramatically below the 55% threshold supporters sought before mandatory signaling rules took effect, amid public disagreement over Bitcoin blockspace and governance.
