SAYLOR PRE-EMPTS BIP-110 SPIN — MANDATORY SIGNALING WINDOW OPENS BLOCK 961,632. ANY "100%" INSIDE IS COMPELLED, NOT CHOSEN. VOLUNTARY SUPPORT READS 2.53%.

The Technologist read: Saylor is naming the coming spin ten days before it lands. Once mandatory signaling opens at block 961,632, BIP-110-compatible software rejects every block that doesn't signal. Miners either signal or their blocks are orphaned. So during the ~2,000-block window between 961,632 and 963,647, any measurement of "signaling percent" will read 100%. That number describes what the rule enforces, not what miners chose. Voluntary signaling — the honest read — only exists before block 961,632. Right now, per bip110monitor.com's live tracker, it sits at 2.53%.

This is Saylor doing what he rarely does on X: technical protocol governance, not cap-structure. He's calling out an argument BIP-110 supporters will make in ten days when their preferred proposal shows "100% miner support" and Bitcoin Twitter is asked to interpret it as consensus. Mandatory signaling is not consensus signaling. Rules-enforced compliance is not miner choice. And 2.53% voluntary support ten days before the mandatory window opens is closer to a rejection than an endorsement. The Bitcoin Foundation doesn't govern by threshold. The economic majority does. Saylor is pre-arming operators to read the numbers honestly.
