Why Bitcoin's BIP-110 refuses to die despite near-zero miner support

SummaryPublic miner support signalling for BIP-110 remains far below the level most observers associate with a successful Bitcoin upgrade ahead of the likely activation point on Aug. 9.Supporters say that misses the point: BIP-110 is a user-activated soft fork, not a miner vote.The episode reveals that Bitcoins governance is ultimately driven by economic coordination, not outright consensus.　　Bitcoin is approaching a rare test this weekend, with a small group of nodes is preparing to reject blocks produced by almost all of the networks miners.　　The Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP)-110, a controversial proposal to temporarily restrict how much non-payment data can be stored on the Bitcoin blockchain, approaches its long-planned mandatory signalling period, expected to be sometime on Aug. 9. The actual activation, if it takes place, would follow at block 965,664, estimated around four weeks later.　　Its ordinary 55% approval threshold is already out of reach.　　Nodes are computers running Bitcoin software that independently check transactions and blocks against the networks rules, rejecting anything they consider invalid. Miners create new blocks, while nodes decide whether to accept them.　　On paper, BIP-110 looks finished, with public signaling from mining pools negligible at under 3% and only two days to go until the Bitcoin network reaches the

Bitcoiners turn to dice throws as self-custody setups are re-evaluated

In light of the catastrophic low-entropy bug in Coldcard hardware wallets, linked to publicly observed thefts beginning on July 30, Bitcoin holders have started to re-evaluate the trust assumptions in their hardware wallet setups.　　How Coldcards entropy flaw worked　　The Coldcard devices were equipped with apparently functional STM32 “true random number generators” (TRNGs) that rely on physical processes to produce an unguessable seed phrase.　　However, after Coldcard creator NVK decided to initiate a firmware rewrite to switch from a GPL-licensed free software model to a read-only model, a serious vulnerability appears to have been introduced.　　Starting with firmware version 4.0.1, released in March 2021, the device used MicroPythons Yasmarang PRNG instead of properly using the STM32 hardware RNG.　　Random number generation is an unsolvable problem in computer science, which is why the generation of secure, unguessable private keys always has to rely on external physical processes to a degree.　　The use of the Yasmarang PRNG was widely characterized by analysts in the space as a pre-programmed fallback. However, Coinkite has now disputed this characterization in a recent X post:　　The conjecture that Coldcards were programmed to default to an obviously insecure method of seed generation has also sparked speculation on X about whether this was a deliberately

Bitcoin developer says self-custody fears cost him gains

German Bitcoin developer René Pickhardt said on Aug. 6 that fears about self-custody security and key management kept him from accumulating more Bitcoin, despite believing the asset had upside.　　In a post, Pickhardt wrote that “security they describe the operational burden individual holders accept.　　Blockstream CEO Adam Back responded that “with great bearer cash power comes great responsibility to not lose your keys.” The response captures the trade-off: Bitcoin allows holders to control assets without a bank, but no central institution can reset a lost private key or reverse an unauthorized valid transaction.　　Coldcard losses sharpen the self-custody debate　　Recent wallet security incidents give that debate context. Cinco Días, citing Galaxy Research, reported that roughly 1,755 BTC had been stolen from about 5,000 wallets across several waves. Earlier Galaxy estimates were lower, and Coinkite has said the full attribution and scope remain unresolved, so the figure should be treated as an evolving on-chain estimate rather than a final confirmed loss.　　The failure also does not show that every hardware wallet faces the same flaw. Block said its products were unaffected, while other manufacturers have separately explained their entropy-generation designs. The vulnerability followed affected seed phrases even if users imported them into another wallet, meaning changing

Bitcoin Telegram accounts targeted by North Korean hackers

Bitcoiners are facing a renewed warning over an active social-engineering campaign that hijacks trusted Telegram accounts and funnels cryptocurrency professionals into fake Zoom or Microsoft Teams meetings.　　Lightning News raised the alarm on Aug. 7, citing recent accounts from Bitcoin community members. Independent security research confirms the core attack chain, though not every claim has been verified.　　JUMPSEC said in July that it obtained source code from an active BlueNoroff phishing kit after exposed JavaScript source maps. The researchers found a victim-acquisition platform that abuses compromised Telegram contacts, profiles cryptocurrency wallets and delivers malware to selected targets on Windows and macOS systems. JUMPSEC said identified campaign infrastructure remained active as of July 22.　　Telegram accounts under attack, source: XBlueNoroff turns trusted Telegram contacts into lures　　The attack begins with trust rather than a blockchain vulnerability. JUMPSEC found operators using compromised Telegram accounts belonging to real industry contacts to invite targets to fake video meetings. Because messages arrive from genuine accounts and can reference existing relationships, sender recognition alone provides limited protection.　　Google Mandiant independently documented a similar UNC1069 intrusion in February. A victim received messages from a compromised crypto executives Telegram account, scheduled a meeting and was redirected to a spoofed Zoom domain. The victim
