Remember, all miners have 2 weeks to upgrade once lock-in occurs, before their blocks will start being orphaned by the network.
So once we have a difficulty period with at least 1109 blocks that signal for BIP 110, we have another 2016 blocks before lock-in occurs?
Does this mean that if there is a difficulty period with at least 1109 blocks signaling for BIP 110, even if the next difficulty period has less than 1109 blocks signaling for BIP 110, then people running the BIP 110 rc will start enforcing BIP 110 rules at the beginning of the next difficulty period?
So, once activated, BIP 110 rules won't be enforced on blocks until the 2017th block?
Lock-in occurs immediately once there is a two-week difficulty adjustment period with at least 1109 signaling blocks. Activation occurs two weeks after lock-in.
There will be a period of mandatory signaling two weeks before the last possible lock-in, which is two weeks before the mandatory activation height.
Does this mean that if there is a difficulty period with at least 1109 blocks signaling for BIP 110, even if the next difficulty period has less than 1109 blocks signaling for BIP 110, then people running the BIP 110 rc will start enforcing BIP 110 rules at the beginning of the next difficulty period?
Yes.
So, once activated, BIP 110 rules won't be enforced on blocks until the 2017th block?
If you mean "once locked in" rather than "once activated", then the answer is yes. "Activation" means the new rules are immediately enforced.
In this case, 55% of the hashrate would be doing the orphaning. That is "the network" by any practical definition.
Is it your opinion that this is really just in the hands of miners now?
Noderunners have nothing further to contribute to the matter?
That isn't what I said, no.
"at 55% of miners, there are still a large chunk of miners who will be mining non-BIP-110 blocks"
This is a very dubious claim. Why would any miner waste money like this?
