Bitcoin Community Divided Over BIP-110 Proposal
A proposal called BIP-110 has been making waves in the Bitcoin community, despite lacking near-zero miner support. Its proponents argue that the network's nodes are what decide whether blocks comply with rules, not miners.
The proposal aims to temporarily tighten Bitcoin's consensus rules to make inscription techniques used by Ordinals and Runes impractical.
Supporters of BIP-110 claim that use of the network for non-financial data consumes block space and makes it more expensive to run, undermining Bitcoin's purpose as digital money.
Dathon Ohm, the pseudonymous author of the proposal, wrote on X that 'Bitcoiners are about to show the world, once again, what happens when the plebs stand up against large, corrupt institutions who are telling us Bitcoin isn’t money and our nodes belong to them.'
