According to Bitcoin.com News, Jon Atack warned on June 29, 2026 that Bitcoin users should avoid transfers in August when BIP-110 soft fork activation nears block 961,632. Atack posted the warning on X, noting he plans to run both standard Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots 110 nodes simultaneously to monitor network behavior. BIP-110, a temporary soft fork proposal, limits arbitrary transaction data including large OP_RETURN outputs and inscriptions. Mandatory signaling begins around block 961,632, projected for early August 2026. As of July 1-2, miner signaling sits at just 0.79%, with Bitcoin's block height in the mid-956,000s, roughly 5,000 blocks away from the mandatory window. Luke Dashjr replied that upgraded nodes face no reorg risk once BIP-110 locks in, though other community members questioned the necessity for users to sideline funds.
