BIP-110 CLOCK — MINER SIGNAL 2.53%, MANDATORY WINDOW OPENS BLOCK 961,632

The BIP-110 monitor reads the tape in real time and the tape is not moving. Period 476 (blocks 959,616-961,631) is 2.53% signal, ten blocks out of 395 tracked, against a 55% activation threshold. Prior period 475 finished at 1.29%. Period 470 finished at 0.00%. Voluntary signaling closes at block 961,632, roughly 11.3 days away, after which mandatory signaling begins — if the threshold hasn’t been hit by then, the soft-fork rules do not activate on the enforced chain, and non-signaling blocks would be rejected only by nodes running the BIP-110-enforcing fork. The Technologist read is straightforward: Foundry, Antpool, ViaBTC, and F2Pool together carry more than 70% of network hashrate and none of them have moved bit 4. Sixty percent of them would need to flip in the next 1,621 blocks to lock the fork in. That is not a coordination story — that is a status-quo story. The proposed rule caps locking-script size, restricts taproot alternatives, and constrains OP_IF in tapscript to reduce “junk data” blockchain bloat. The loud-node minority wants this fork; the miners and the economic majority have not signed. The Technologist doesn’t take a side on whether the fork is good or bad policy — the framework says only that soft-fork activation requires miners AND the economic majority. The monitor tape shows neither of those constituencies moving. That is the story. Same block-height market that produced block 960,010 while four altcoin infra companies died in seven days last week. The network keeps ticking. The fork clock is running. The signal isn’t.
