BIP-110 mandatory signaling starts at block 961,632 (~Aug 8–9). Here’s what actually happens to your coins. First: what this is. Nodes running BIP-110 will start rejecting blocks that don’t signal support. Miner signaling is ~2.6%. The other ~97% keeps mining as normal. So enforcing nodes follow a slower minority chain while the main chain continues untouched. If you hold in self-custody: Nothing happens to your coins. Your keys still control the same UTXOs on every chain that exists. Coins created before activation are permanently exempt from the new rules. You don’t need to do anything. If you hold on an exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, River, Strike, etc.): You hold an IOU, not coins. That’s true today and it’s true during a fork. Expect exchanges to pause deposits and withdrawals around the window that’s them being careful, not a sign of trouble. If a minority chain persists, each custodian decides independently whether to credit or support it. Most won’t. If there IS a split: You keep your coins on both chains automatically. You lose nothing. Transactions confirmed during the split are only as final as the chain they land on, which is exactly why you don’t transact during the window. If there ISN’T a split (most likely): Nothing. Blocks keep coming every ~10 min. You never notice. WHAT TO DO: → Move coins to self-custody if you feel comfortable doing so, before the window or after. Not during. → Verify your seed backup works → Then sit still WHAT NOT TO DO: → Don’t transact during the window if you can avoid it. Wait 48–72h after activation, then use deep confirmations. → Don’t use any “fork claim” tool. Ever. → Don’t enter your seed phrase anywhere. Fork events are scammer season, phishing is the only real threat to your bitcoin in all of this. Good Luck 👍🏻 🍀
