Dashjr Ousted from Bitcoin Proposal Role Amid BIP 110 Controversy
Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr has been removed as an editor of Bitcoin Improvement Proposals following controversy over his handling of BIP 110.
The proposal, which aimed to temporarily restrict arbitrary data in transactions, triggered a minority chain split when some nodes enforcing it rejected blocks from miners without support.
Mark Erhardt, another developer, opened a pull request recommending Dashjr's removal and citing that he had unfairly favored BIP 110 while serving as an editor.
'This is just an abuse of power by Core,' Dashjr said in response. 'They have no authority to do so.'
