Bitcoin has 185 blocks left before BIP-110 rules begin rejecting blocks

Bitcoin nears the deadline for BIP-110, a proposed temporary soft fork that would shrink block data. Once the current signaling period ends, nodes enforcing it will reject blocks that do not signal support.A third-party monitor showed only 48 of 1,831 blocks signaling as of 14:41:49 UTC on Aug. 7, just 2.62%, with 185 blocks left before the period closes.BIP-110 requires 1,109 signaling blocks in a 2,016-block period to meet its 55% threshold. Even if every one of those 185 remaining blocks signaled, the period would finish at 233 of 2,016, or about 11.56%.Different rules at height 961,632From height 961,632, continuously enforcing BIP-110 nodes reject blocks that do not signal bit 4. Nodes following existing Bitcoin rules may accept the same blocks if they otherwise satisfy those rules.The result can be divergent block acceptance, while any sustained enforcing branch depends on miners producing BIP-110-valid work after the boundary.Under the proposal, mandatory signaling runs through block 963,647, lock-in won't happen once the height reaches 963,648, and the reduced-data rules activate at 965,664. That schedule governs BIP-110-enforcing nodes without binding every Bitcoin partici...
