[Bitcoin Mining Pool OCEAN Stops Supporting BIP-110 Fork Chain, Claims Block Rewards Are 'Permanently Frozen'] According to Bitcoin News, Bitcoin mining pool OCEAN has officially ceased support for the BIP-110 fork chain, citing limited mining activity and the transition to the Blake2b proof-of-work mechanism. OCEAN stated that it will neither adopt nor support the BIP-110 hard fork, nor will it continue to pay BIP-110 block rewards. The BIP-110 chain stalled after the user-activated soft fork attempt failed on August 8, with post-fork mining rewards being inaccessible due to not reaching 100 confirmations. OCEAN claims these rewards were 'permanently frozen' at BIP-110 block 961,639. Miners wishing to continue supporting BIP-110 have been directed to CONVOY Mining, which plans to support the Blake2b hard fork and maintain BIP-110 share records.
