According to a slew of reports, the failed BIP-110 forked asset from the August chain split is now seeing a market price. The newly launched cryptocurrency was listed on an exchange called Neoxa Exchange and started trading for around $80 per coin under the ticker BTCB2.

This weekend, the BIP-110 community restarted the stalled fork that occurred on Aug. 8, 2026, and so far, the chain has mined over 800 blocks. In addition to changing the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus from SHA-256d to Blake2b, blockchain developer Luke Dashjr reduced the block size, something he’s been itching to do to Bitcoin for years. […]

The new chain has replaced SHA256d, which is Bitcoin's mining algorithm with BLAKE2b under its hard-fork rules.
Bitcoin’s stalled BIP-110 branch is moving toward a BLAKE2b fork as David Schwartz challenges supporters before the planned Sept. 1 launch.
A second breakaway hard fork is prepared for September 1, 2026 after BIP-110's initial failure, aiming to move Bitcoin's proof-of-work mechanism to the Blake2b Mining Algorithm.

A planned revival of the failed BIP-110 stalled fork is putting an old cryptocurrency hazard back in the spotlight: replay attacks, where a transaction intended for one blockchain can potentially be copied onto another. The issue matters because Luke Dashjr and other BIP-110 supporters are discussing a hard fork that would replace the minority chain’s […]

Since Bitcoin split at block 961632 on Aug. 8, the tiny Roughnecks pool has burned scarce hashpower chasing a chain almost nobody can trade, grinding out just four blocks across seven days. Now, BIP-110 supporters are preparing an even bigger gamble: abandoning double SHA-256 for Blake2b, a proof-of-work (PoW) primitive used by only a handful […]

BIP-110 proponents argues that the rejection of the proposal proves Bitcoin has been “captured” by a centralized cartel of major mining pools. Critics insist the rejection validates Bitcoin’s governance model, demonstrating its built-in anti-fragility—remaining resistant to unilateral or contentious changes. A Fracture in Node Sovereignty In the wake of the now-failed attempt to restrict non-financial […]

Bitcoin developers have finished a proposed security cleanup called BIP-54, but winning enough support to activate it may prove harder than writing the code. BIP-54, formally known as “Consensus Cleanup,” would make four narrow changes to Bitcoin’s core rules. The proposal is designed to close old weaknesses and unusual edge cases, not add new ways […]

The new mining algorithm is intended to push back against miners that refused to support BIP-110's signaling requirements.
Supporters of the soft fork he championed split onto their own chain on Saturday, where it mined two blocks in eight hours and stopped.
Luke Dashjr is taking a sabbatical from his leadership roles at the Jack Dorsey-backed bitcoin mining pool Ocean as he turns his attention toward the BIP-110 fork and open-source development, just as developers behind the stalled minority chain begin organizing an aggressive proof-of-work (PoW) overhaul designed to revive their fork. “I am taking a sabbatical […]
