Wu Blockchain(@WuBlockchain):Adam Back and Michael Saylor Oppose BIP 110 on Bitcoin Blockstream co-founder and Hashcash inventor Adam Back and Strategy founder Michael Saylor both opposed implementing BIP 110 on the Bitcoin network. Back said BIP 110 attempts to police other people’s transactions and conflicts with Bitcoin’s principles of decentralization and permissionlessness, warning that pushing it forward would only lead to a fork. Saylor said BIP 110 turns a spam dispute into a consensus change that would invalidate some currently valid, fee-paying transactions. He argued that such a precedent is highly dangerous and that the community should focus on more fundamental threats.
