The BIP-110 minority chain resumed block production 23 days after splitting from Bitcoin, switching its consensus rules from SHA-256d to Blake2b and mining more than 800 blocks. The chain split at block height 961632, stalled after reaching 961639, then accelerated at block 961640 when a pool or entity called Silent Wave mined a block under the new rules. Luke Dashjr and minority-chain developers also reduced the block-size limit to 300 kB, or 800,000 weight units, fulfilling a proposal Dashjr had pursued for years. The chain is described by Dashjr as a rehearsal, with new software expected on Sept. 1. Its cryptocurrency is not listed on centralized exchanges, and CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap do not display a ticker for it. Supporters argue the Blake2b chain remains Bitcoin, while critics including Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo describe it as an incompatible fork. Whether the asset gains meaningful value remains uncertain, with the broader Bitcoin conversation largely rejecting that claim.
