This is a website for tracking the activation status of BIP110. When you load the site, your browser connects to a semi-randomly selected electrum server, from which it downloads the latest bitcoin block headers for the current BIP110 signaling window. Then it checks that data to see how many blocks in this window signaled for BIP110, and displays green and red blocks indicating the BIP's activation progress. If 1109 blocks signal "for" BIP110 during any signaling window, BIP110 will activate a short while after that.

I hope you make up your mind. I know you know what spam is and you dislike spam on Bitcoin. i know OP_IF is a problem for you but from what I can assume its 90% pro BIP110 and 10% No. I think this person was pro Core but could objectively assess BIP 110.

Running BIP110 on Bitcoin Knots because Bitcoin is Freedom Money ๐Ÿค™ image https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/2017#pullrequestreview-3384767316 "I'm generally supportive of the changes in this BIP. Aside from minor nitpicks in language, the 34 byte scriptPubKey restriction I think will prove to be quite valuable in addressing the larger concern of DoS blocks / poison blocks that impose such high computational costs on nodes that a single block would take 30 minutes to verify on decent hardware instead of taking about a second. This is an even larger threat to Bitcoin than either CSAM or quantum, because I've read that CSAM has already been present on Bitcoin for a very long time, and quantum computers aren't anywhere near good enough to be a threat, and may never be, whereas DoS blocks could be introduced by miners who take direct submissions without sufficient checks at any time. It's been pointed out that disabling OP_SUCCESS in Tapscript would conflict with adding new signature verification opcodes in future BIPs that might use them to add quantum resistance, but I would point out that the semantics around existing opcodes could simply be altered to preserve compatibility with BIP 110. For example, instead of creating new sets of OP_CHECKSIG opcodes to support new signature schemes, the semantics of existing OP_CHECKSIG opcode could simply be adjusted to accept imperatively inputs of varying lengths, a form of overloading / polymorphism / or duck typing. While it could be argued that a more declarative approach is superior in cryptographic contexts, I don't weight that concern as heavily as the larger concern over DoS blocks, and as such, I'm supportive of this approach. My only major objection is that this is temporary. I'm not very comfortable with either temporary soft forks or default node expiry because it forces users to act instead of delaying action, which I think delaying action is perfectly fine and reasonable as the protocol matures. It also reminds me too much of the "difficulty bomb" based monetary policy used to coerce Ethereum miners to adopt new code from the Ethereum foundation or else. That said, if BIP 110 were activated as is, I would still be supportive, and I would also support reactivating it in the future as a more permanent feature of Bitcoin. At a high level, this proposal reminds me in spirit of early versions of my original P2QRH proposal. I just think it could use a little more polish, but I see it as being directionally correct."

Also its temporary fork where everything can be analyzed, even now is simulated with real world transactions and improvements can be made as long as they do not introduce spam exploits.
