BIP110 hashrate is evaporating fast.
Just after the split, Ocean's 30 EH was split roughly equally, 15-15 EH. Now, after 8-9 hours, it has fallen to 1.4 EH.
Miner incentives work as designed.
I've watched the BIP100 fork happening, and I've witnessed the birth of the first two blocks on the rogue chain.
Chances are I saw ALL the block that will ever happen...
BIP110 has forked for good. But the two chains/versions/networks still share the same mempool, right?
I mean there is no network-level partitioning, and a valid pending transaction in one network is valid in the other one as well.
BIP110 has forked, but it would start enforcing its filtering only in 2 difficulty epochs, which will never happen due to missing hashrate...

The last 6 bitcoin blocks (since the beginning of the new difficulty period) have 22 minutes block time on average.
It's funny that BIP110 had only 1 block in the same period, yet the block time is only 10 minutes! Of course, when there will be a second block, this number will go down a lot...
Creating true randomness with algorithms is impossible.
Testing randomness is extremely difficult.
Code review is fallible.
Old truths, but smashed into our face now.
Coding LLMs tilt the REUSE-or-REWRITE? question to the rewrite side. Still, don't underestimate the savings in future maintenance costs in the reuse case.
