Michael Saylor: BIP-110 cannot meet the 55% voluntary support threshold in the current Bitcoin mining difficulty cycle.

Strategy founder Michael Saylor posted that in the current Bitcoin difficulty adjustment cycle (946 blocks had been mined as of block 960,561), only 24 blocks set the BIP-110 support flag in their block header’s version field. All miner signals originated from DATUM miners that share rewards via OCEAN; signals from non-OCEAN sources were zero. The voluntary 55% threshold for this cycle is mathematically unachievable, and this does not reflect miner consensus. OCEAN has set BIP-110 signaling as default for its existing endpoints. The BIP-110 guidelines direct node operators to use Bitcoin Knots and miners to use DATUM. Regardless of intent, BIP-110 has effectively become a vertically integrated marketing campaign for Knots and OCEAN/DATUM. BIP-110 remains voluntary until block 961,632; from blocks 961,632 to 963,647, the software will reject all blocks that do not signal support. Any "100% signaling" observed during this window is merely the result of rule enforcement, not voluntary miner backing or Bitcoin consensus.
