It's not left vs right. It's not black vs white. It's good vs evil. And until you see that, you're fighting the wrong war.

[BlueRidgeBitcoin ⚡️BIP110 @BlueRidgeBTC]

I greatly appreciate all that @LukeDashjr has done for Bitcoin over the years.

Thank you.

[Duke BIP-110 @DukeDukingtonRD]

There are two hard fork attempts ongoing in bitcoin.

One lead by woke core, miners and suitcoiners.

One lead by a grassroots movement of ~20k plebs.

Choose your chain wisely, one of these will fail spectacularly.

Bryan Bishop @kanzure is the Bitcoin Core developer who in 2018 pitched Jeffrey Epstein on funding a “designer babies” project aimed at producing the first live birth of a genetically engineered human (and possibly a clone) within five year.

Bryan just announced that Luke Dashjr has been stripped of permissions on the BIP content repository.

The same guy who sought millions from Epstein for genetic engineering and human enhancement experiments is now the one publicly declaring who gets to edit Bitcoin’s formal improvement proposals.

Epstein’s reply at the time: he had “no issues with investing… The problem is only if I am seen to lead.”

Make of that what you will.

Luke is gone as BIP editor.

Bryan Bishop remains as BIP editor.

[Chris Guida | ⚡🪢 BIP110 @cguida6]

@pete_rizzo_ Removing Luke as BIP editor is an absolutely disgraceful move

It was naive to think that plebs could fight a Cantillonaire system worth $1000T that wants to keep it possible for the rich to steal from the poor. It was naive to think we could get the 5 large mining pools controlled by the Cantillonaires to signal for BIP-110, which would give power back to the people. It was very naive, but we had to try and we are not giving up!🫡

[ScarcityMan 🚀 BIP-110 @ScarcityMan]

It's been made clear that a few mining pools (and their backers) now run the network. This is untenable. This is not bitcoin, no matter how much PoW it has. This is the worst possible outcome---the one we feared the most. In my opinion, it's time to officially fire the miners. We could not force victory, but we can force pain. Let them feel our pain.

What happened to Epstein's list?

Good morning.

[Taimour AlNeimat #BIP-110 @albitcoiner]

@mattkratter, you probably have no idea who I am, and that is partly why I wanted to write this.

I’m a Jordanian who has spent more than a decade working in technology in Saudi Arabia. Somewhere between work, family and trying to understand the world better, I fell down the Bitcoin rabbit hole.

Technology led to money. Money led to economics, history, incentives, energy and human behavior. Somewhere along that journey, I found Trader University.

Matthew became one of the voices I kept coming back to. I trusted that he had done the work before turning on the camera.

His influence went beyond Bitcoin. He once recommended Good Energy by Casey Means. I bought it.

Someone records a video thousands of kilometers away, mentions a book, and a person in Saudi Arabia hears it, orders it and follows another rabbit hole.

Matthew probably never knew.

That is what education looks like from the other side of the screen.

And that is why watching the attacks on him now bothers me.

For years, the XRP army, Ethereum people, gold bugs and shitcoiners attacked him. At the same time, he could have monetized his audience with tokens, airdrops, exchange sponsorships, early allocations and paid promotions.

He could have made a fortune.

He kept talking about Bitcoin.

Now I open X and see Bitcoiners directing the same hatred at him because of BIP-110.

Disagreement is fair. Personal humiliation isn’t.

There is still a human being behind. Someone who spent years educating people he will probably never meet.

Matthew supported BIP-110 because he believed it was better for Bitcoin.

So did I. I still do.

Maybe history proves us wrong. Maybe it proves us right. History has a longer attention span than X.

One lost signaling battle cannot erase years of integrity and contribution.

So while your notifications are filled with people telling you what you got wrong, here is one from thousands of kilometers away saying something different:

Thank you, Matthew.

For the Bitcoin education. For the rabbit holes. Even for Good Energy sitting on my bookshelf.

The replies are loud right now.

They are not everyone.

I’m still here.

Still with Matthew. Still pro-BIP-110.

[Secure Sovereign 🚀₿🧡 @secsovereign]

BIP-110 failed yesterday. Today, Murch filed a motion to remove Luke Dashjr as a BIP editor.

Read the grounds carefully. Some are procedural. Luke assigned a BIP number out of band and merged a PR minutes after it opened. Fine, argue those on the merits.

But one of the listed reasons is his championing of a contentious soft fork. That is a political criterion applied to a role that BIP 1 and BIP 2 both define as administrative and editorial, with the explicit instruction that editors will not unreasonably deny a proposal. The role was never designed as a content gate. The motion treats it as one.

Worth noting who wrote what. Luke authored BIP 2, the process document that governed BIP editing for nine years. Murch authored BIP 3, which replaced it last year and explicitly reduced the judgment calls assigned to the editor role. So the process was rewritten to narrow Luke's discretion, and now Luke is being removed for exercising discretion.

The contribution statistic deserves the same scrutiny. Fewer than 1% of editor comments since April 2024 sounds damning until you remember that April 2024 is when additional editors were added, after years of Luke handling the role alone and unpaid while people complained about the backlog. He is among the most prolific and longest-tenured contributors in Bitcoin Core's history. He founded Eligius, wrote BFG Miner, maintains Knots, and co-founded Ocean. The picture of a man who stopped showing up does not survive contact with his actual record.

Every remaining editor now knows what happens if they back a proposal the funding-aligned consensus opposes. The motion does not need to succeed to accomplish that.

[Start9 @start9labs]

FINAL UPDATE:

As of August 9: the RDTS chain has found two blocks since the split, and the remaining miners extending it have announced their intent to cease. Treat the chain as permanently stalled — nothing broadcast on it will confirm. As such, Bitcoin Knots has been deindexed from the marketplace to avoid accidental installation.

If you are running Knots RDTS, The practical step is to switch to a non-enforcing flavor. A node serves you only if its chain advances, and this one will not. Bitcoin Knots (pre-RDTS) and Bitcoin Core are both in the marketplace. On StartOS, your synced chain data is kept, and chain verdicts are corrected automatically.

If you have Lightning channels open, do this promptly. Your channels are live on the majority chain, which your current node cannot see. Once synced, verify channel state.

Full guidance, with a dated record of each update: https://t.co/Wp1MRT4qU5

Our first priority is helping the thousands of people running Knots (RDTS) — on StartOS, Umbrel, Parmanode, and other platforms — find stable ground. Once that is done, we will publish a statement on the situation as a whole, including the grievances aired along the way.

[Dathon Ohm / BIP-110 @dathon_ohm]

Update: it appears that the large mining pools have colluded to turn Bitcoin from money into a toxic data dumping ground by executing a secret hardfork against the Bitcoin node network.

The community is working on proposal for a proof-of-work change to fire the miners.
