Here’s how August 7th or 8th will play out:
The 5 or 6 largest mining pools will gather on a conference call at block 961,632.
The decision will be unanimous: “We’re not flipping the bit.”
Moments later, the next block will be an OP_IF JPEG block featuring Luke/Mechanic/Kratter AI art (which BIP-110 nodes will block).
BIP-110 nodes will then split off and continue on their own chain mining 5-10 blocks a day until the next difficulty adjustment.
And, for the laughs, spammers will likely be the first to test the new Ordinals method on the BIP-110 chain so every BIP-110 block contains ordinals spam.
