Removal follows accusations of procedural violations during the stalled BIP-110 soft-fork proposal targeting non-financial Bitcoin use.
Bitcoin Core developers removed Luke Dashjr as a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor after allegations he bypassed due process for BIP-110. The proposal, aimed at restricting non-financial network use, stalled during miner signaling.
Dashjr was accused of assigning a BIP number prematurely and merging updates without discussion. The move follows his sabbatical announcement from mining pool Ocean, where he serves as CTO.
BIP-110 faced immediate resistance, failing to gain traction among node operators and miners. The removal underscores governance tensions within Bitcoin’s development community.
