✦AI Summary
A controversial Bitcoin fork attempt known as BIP-110 has effectively stalled after failing to gain sufficient miner support, leaving the new chain hundreds of blocks behind the main network. Due to the network's difficulty adjustment mechanism, the fork is now projected to take over six years to produce the blocks necessary to reset its mining difficulty.
The chain that broke away from bitcoin on Saturday has not moved since. It is still sitting on block 961,633, its second. Bitcoin has since climbed to block 961,959, leaving the fork 326 blocks behind.
