Bitcoin's blockchain split at block 961632 when two rival mining groups, Antpool and Roughnecks, mined competing versions of the same block amid the activation of the BIP-110 upgrade. Antpool mined the non-signaling block while Roughnecks produced the BIP-110-compliant block, causing the chain to fracture. The main Bitcoin chain continued advancing past block 961634, but the BIP-110 chain stalled due to limited mining support, potentially delaying progress for days unless supporters adjust mining power or take drastic measures. This split highlights ongoing conflicts in Bitcoin's upgrade process and the challenges of consensus among miners.
