Luke Dashjr removed as Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor

Developers cited Dashjr’s involvement in BIP 110, a proposal linked to a minority chain split that stalled after limited hashpower support.

Cointelegraph reports that Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr has been removed as an editor of Bitcoin Improvement Proposals following a dispute tied to BIP 110.

According to the outlet, the removal was pushed through by Bitcoin developer Mark Erhardt via a pull request opened on Sunday, after Erhardt recommended Dashjr’s step back on the Bitcoin Developer mailing list.

Erhardt alleged Dashjr had been heavily involved in creating and implementing BIP 110 and unfairly favored the proposal, including by attempting to assign it a BIP number before mailing-list discussion and quickly merging an update.

Jon Atack, cited by Cointelegraph, said he verified Dashjr no longer has editor or administrator privileges in the BIPs repository after the mailing-list discussion.

Cointelegraph also notes that BIP 110 aimed to temporarily restrict arbitrary data embedded in Bitcoin transactions, and that it contributed to a minority chain split after nodes enforcing it rejected blocks from miners that did not signal support, though the fork stalled with little hashpower support.
