Miners do not pick a chain on principle. They pick it on a spreadsheet.
In a split, difficulty is inherited before it adjusts. A minority chain means identical power draw for a fraction of the revenue.
Bitcoin is secured by the cost of disagreeing.

With only 2.6% miner signaling, BIP-110 has failed to earn broad miner support. At block 961,632, its nodes will reject non-signaling blocks. BIP-110 will then stall or fork into irrelevance while Bitcoin continues normally. Bitcoin is working as designed.
Block 961,632. The BIP-110 mandatory signaling window opens.
Enforcing nodes now reject any block that does not signal bit 4.
Check your node version. If you mine, know which chain your pool builds on. If you self-custody, do nothing.

The 2017 fork wars happened in a retail market. That is over.
IBIT reported $44.95B in net assets in early July. Its SEC prospectus defines how the fund treats a forked asset.
Institutions cannot improvise. They follow filed documents.

BIP-110 signaling sits under 1%. The miner threshold is 55%.
The fork happens anyway. That is the part people miss.
It is a UASF. Nodes enforce, miners do not vote. From block 961,632 enforcing nodes reject blocks that fail to signal.

BIP-110 has a feature almost nobody mentions: it expires on its own.
52,416 blocks after activation, roughly one year, the rules lapse. No vote needed to remove them.
Pre-activation UTXOs grandfathered. Existing inscriptions untouched.

Two Bitcoin forks in August. Not the same event.
BIP-110: soft fork, early August, restricts arbitrary data in transactions. No new coin.
eCash: hard fork, block 964,000, around Aug 21. New chain, 1:1 snapshot to holders.
Governance test vs product launch.

Why we chose the Antminer S21 XP. ๐ฅ๏ธ
~270 TH/s. ~13 J/TH. Efficiency is the point.
In mining, electricity is your main cost. 1 J/TH difference = hundreds of dollars per machine per year.
BTC at $62K this week โ efficient hardware keeps you profitable through the dips.
The bear market is getting worse.
Two old CEX platforms are shutting down:
๐ชฆ @BitMartExchange
๐ชฆ @BitMEX
If you have funds there, withdraw them.
First, we saw DeFi platforms shutting down.
Now even some CEX platforms are closing.
This is turning into one of the toughest bear markets for crypto projects.

Every prospect asks what stops me running off with their BTC.
Nothing stops me. The architecture does.
Braiins Reward Split: the client enters their own address, the pool pays it directly. No company wallet in the path.
Trust is weak. Structure is strong.

Running a crypto company in France as SASU. ๐๏ธ
15% corporate tax on first โฌ42,500 profit.
BTC on the balance sheet as digital assets.
BIC tax regime for mining income.
The tradeoff: every BTC received = an accounting entry in EUR at day price.
Get a specialized accountant.
15 months post-halving. BTC around $62K under macro pressure.
Historically? We're in the acceleration phase.
Subsidy cut in half โ inefficient miners exit.
Survivors: datacenter ops with efficient hardware.

BREAKING:
70% of EU crypto withdrawals are now going to self-custody wallets.
Not to MiCA-regulated platforms.
Binance CEO Richard Teng confirmed it.
The EU built the most comprehensive crypto regulation in the world.
And users responded by leaving the regulated system entirely.
This is the outcome Brussels didn't model.
MiCA was designed to bring crypto under control.
Instead it pushed 70% of capital into wallets no regulator can touch.
Cash banned above โฌ10,000.
Bitcoin tracked above โฌ1,000.
Privacy coins delisted.
90% of crypto firms eliminated.
The EU squeezed harder.
The users squeezed out.
Into self-custody. Beyond reach.
You cannot regulate what you cannot see.
And 70% of EU crypto users just made themselves invisible.
The harder Europe grips.
The faster the capital slips through its fingers.
MiCA didn't bring order to crypto.
It accelerated the exit from the system it was trying to control.

GERMANY JUST DROPPED A 0% CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON BITCOIN HELD FOR OVER A YEAR! THIS IS HUGE FOR HODLERS! ๐ Bitcoin is also testing that $63,000 supportโletโs see where it goes!

FPPS vs PPS+ vs PPLNS โ quick breakdown โ๏ธ
PPLNS โ paid when the pool finds a block. High variance.
FPPS โ fixed per share including tx fees. Near-zero variance.
We use Braiins FPPS. Same payout every day, regardless of pool luck.
