BIP-110 split from the Bitcoin mainnet on Aug. 8 at block height 961632, but the new chain has made little progress since then. Roughnecks mining pool has produced only four blocks, with the fork stalling again at block 961635 after that block was mined on Aug. 12. Supporters of the fork, including Ocean co-founder Luke Dashjr, plan to change the proof-of-work hash function from SHA-256 to Blake2b as early as September, a shift intended to escape the minority chain's severe mining difficulty while keeping a proof-of-work model rather than adopting a different consensus mechanism. The change would require developers to rewrite block header validation and update mining software, Stratum servers, pool infrastructure, wallets, block explorers and indexing tools, while miners would need hardware or software that can run Blake2b efficiently. The forked coin has not secured exchange support and has no market price, leaving the value of accumulated transaction fees unclear. More than 400,000 transfers are waiting for confirmation, and because the chain lacks replay protection, many of those transfers were generated unintentionally by users. Tokens mined by Roughnecks can only be used after receiving 100 confirmations.
