Brainstorming: What data to collect and monitor during the BIP-110 & BIP-300 forks in August 2026?

I’ve been thinking about adding a visualization of what-is-being-mined-on to fork-observer using stratum data: Show next block based on stratum jobs by 0xB10C · Pull Request #137 · 0xB10C/fork-observer · GitHub

An idea for an activation live stream would be to show a Core and Knots+BIP110 node on fork-observer and have them both connected to a ckpool instance each, which are then connected to a stratum-observer instance. This would show which blocks the nodes consider active and which block they are mining on. Could also mix in some of the bigger pools like AntPool, F2Pool, ViaBTC, … Maybe Foundry if we can get pool details too.

The same works for the eCash activation.
