Summary
- Bitcoin has reached block 961,632, triggering the long-awaited mandatory signaling period for BIP-110.
- The proposal entered the signaling phase at around 19:35 UTC on Saturday, with support from miners seldom exceeding 2.5%, a long way short of the 55% mark required.
- Its supporters, however, are pushing BIP-110 as a user-activated soft fork (UASF), meaning it relies on node operators to change the rules, not miners.
