A bitcoin miner has opted not to support BIP-110, even while part of a mining pool that endorses the proposal. Simple Mining, utilizing the Ocean mining pool, mined block 961,634 on the main bitcoin chain without signaling support for BIP-110, which aims to limit non-financial data in transactions for a year. This decision underscores that BIP-110 managed to garner only 2.6% of the hashrate, far below the 55% required for implementation. Following the rejection of non-signaling blocks at height 961,632, the forked chain could only produce two blocks before stalling, while the main chain advanced over 200 blocks ahead. Using Ocean's DATUM protocol, Simple Mining retained the ability to determine the contents of its block independently. Despite Ocean's default support for BIP-110, the miner chose not to signal for the proposal, emphasizing that the low hashrate support indicated a lack of consensus. "Hashrate is a vote you cannot fake, and we determined the proposal wasn't worth pursuing," Simple Mining stated on X. This incident highlights the unique flexibility provided by the DATUM protocol, allowing miners to independently craft blocks while still benefiting from the pooled resources of the Ocean mining pool. The contrasting decisions of miners within the same pool illustrate the ongoing divisions in the bitcoin community over the proposal, which faced significant challenges from the outset, as evidenced by the swift stalling of the BIP-110 branch following the split.
