The BIP-110 minority Bitcoin chain stalled after mining only two blocks due to inheriting Bitcoin's massive mining difficulty but lacking sufficient hashpower. Supporters, including developer Luke Dashjr, are considering changing the chain's proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm to escape reliance on Bitcoin's SHA-256d miners and revive block production.

No PoW change has been activated yet, and the chain remains stalled as supporters weigh options to attract miners or alter consensus rules.
