There were three release clients before this v0.1.

Now that it's out there, we should get to see how many people will run it.

Here is @dathon_ohm's announcement on X:

ah, just go away already.

This is done and over, stillborn before even conceived.

These people are going to cause a hard-fork and fork themselves onto their own chain.
And they are chomping at the bit to do it, led by 'influencers' and bad arguments.

Incredible.

reply

This is not a hard fork. Also you can "fork yourself" and you have money in both branches, so no risk for you actually (you can wait as long as you want and see who wins).

reply

It's a hard fork, they just somehow think they're 'going to win'.
The bcashers thought the same

reply

It's a soft fork.

reply

A soft fork can still produce a chain split.

If miners do not enforce BIP 110, nodes running BIP 110 will fork off from the main chain in September.

reply

Yeah, I know.

reply

BIP-110 is much closer to Segwit than to BCH, given that Segwit was a softfork, while BCH was a hardfork.

reply

True.
And also BCH enabled much bigger blocks, which hurts decentralization. Meanwhile BIP-110 aims to do the opposite by reducing block bloat caused by inscriptions.
So the comparison to BCH makes no sense.

Blocks aren't bloated due to inscriptions... maybe the UTXO set is, but not blocks themselves. Blocks are the same size.

And UTXO set bloat can and does occur with 10 byte op_returns (with bip-110 doesn't fix) so imo bip-110 changes nothing.

I'll run stats on sun/mon to inform y'all that there will be no activation this epoch ๐Ÿ˜‚

reply

You mean 55% activation, right? I thought this had an activation in September, regardless of adoption.

reply

It can be activated early if at least 55% of blocks signal for it in one 2016 block period.

reply

Right, but it activates in September even if that doesn't happen, right?

reply

correct

reply

You cannot really "activate regardless of adoption", but whatevs. We'll see.

reply

I mean, those rules become active (i.e. activate) for anyone running that software in September.

reply

For this version of the software, I suspect so yes (I haven't reviewed latest changes.)

reply

According to Kratter, BIP-110 just keeps winning so apparently we better fall in line...

reply

I am wondering something. If the mining pool coordinators are the ones setting the block template, are they the ones determining the signaling bits, not the clients?

reply

The mining pools that use Stratum V1 yes. And that's probably a majority of the hashrate. It's this centralized unfortunately.

reply

Thanks for sharing. We are already over 4% of all listening nodes on the network, but there have not been any blocks signaling yet. Hopefully with this initial production release, we will see an increase in miner signaling.

Bitcoin is money!

Keep going Dathon.

Plebs love what you have been doing for bitcoin.

2026 will be the last year for the shitcoin core.

Great news! Let's get the security improvement BIP-110 activated.
