BIP-110 failed to activate after receiving only about 2.53% miner hash power support, well below its 55% activation threshold. Nodes enforcing the proposal forked from the Bitcoin mainnet at block height 961632, but the minority chain later stopped producing blocks because it inherited mining difficulty designed for the main network while attracting less than 3% of total hash power. Bitcoin Mechanic said the result shows "protocol capture," describing a situation where large mining pool operators coordinate to shape consensus rules and weaken node sovereignty. Cysic founder and CEO Leo Fan said Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment mechanism protected the main chain and argued that BIP-110's mandatory activation structure was the core problem. The anonymous owner of 1win said the main chain continues to run normally, while some supporters are considering a hard fork to change the PoW algorithm (the method miners use to secure the network).
