ME News message. On April 4 (UTC+8), F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun posted on the X platform, clearly opposing the Bitcoin BIP-110 and the BIP-54 protocol upgrade. The core reason is opposition to being forced through similar to the way U.S. politicians’ “omnibus bill” approach pushes “bundled” legislation. He noted that most of the issues currently being discussed have no real urgency: time-warp attacks bring miners no substantive benefit; block validation efficiency has already improved significantly through libraries and hardware; forging confirmed transactions requires breaking SHA256, and if that were possible, then the security of the BTC base layer would already be compromised. Wang Chun believes none of these problems are enough to drive protocol changes, and that only “replayed transactions” has any value worth fixing—these are the few changes that are worth implementing.
