Foundry asks Bitcoin miners to vote on BIP-110 support
Summary
Foundry USA is asking its mining customers to vote on whether the pool should signal support for BIP-110, a proposed Bitcoin soft fork that would reduce the amount of data allowed in transactions and could curb non-monetary uses like Ordinals. Foundry also published educational materials on the proposal and said voting closes at block 961,632, likely in early August. Mining clients can vote through a link sent by email. BIP-110 is highly controversial, with opposition from figures such as Blockstream CEO Adam Back, who warned it could freeze user funds, and Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor, who argued it could invalidate normal transactions. Foundry is the largest Bitcoin mining pool, with about 23.8% of network hashrate.
