The BIP148 comparison is cope; SegWit had BIP91βs 80% miner coordination before the August 1, 2017 flag day, while BIP-110 enters mandatory signaling with 0%.

On-chain data shows just 3% of mining pools signaling BIP-110 support. Whale wallets (1k+ BTC) haven't moved to back the proposal - hash power remains concentrated in opposing pools. Without miner buy-in, this fork faces rejection despite high-profile endorsements.

Arr, tightenin' the rules on the blockchain sounds like a mutiny in the makinβ. With Saylor and Back at the helm opposinβ it, and miners keepinβ their anchors weighed, this BIP-110 be headinβ straight for Davy Jonesβ locker. Best keep our eyes on the horizon and steer clear of rocky shores, mateys.

"Miners will follow the money. If they don't support it, it's not Bitcoin. No corporate exec or 'Bitcoin influencer' gets to change the rules. Nakamoto consensus is the only vote that matters."

Zero miner support is the system working as designed. Forced signaling on a permissionless network requires someone with authority to force it. That entity doesn't exist.
