The Bitcoin network reached the controversial block 961,632 on Saturday, beyond which Bitcoin Knots nodes will enforce BIP-110 and reject any block not signaling support for the soft fork. This UASF, aimed at limiting arbitrary data in transactions to curb ordinals inscriptions, requires 55 % miner signaling while the rate was stuck at 2.60 %, making activation mathematically impossible according to projections. The risk of a chain split, reminiscent of the 2017 block size wars, exposes holders to replay attack vulnerabilities, prompting Australian platforms like Bitaroo and Hardblock to prepare deposit and withdrawal suspensions. BIP-110 arrives in an already tense context following the Coldcard vulnerability, which drained over a thousand bitcoins and serves as a reminder that Bitcoin security never depends on a single weak link.
