ME News announcement: On April 4 (UTC+8), F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun posted on the X platform, clearly opposing proposed upgrades to the Bitcoin BIP-110 and BIP-54 protocols. The core reason is opposition to pushing changes through in a manner similar to U.S. politicians’ “bundling bills.” He noted that most of the issues being discussed today do not have real urgency: time-warp attacks bring no substantive benefit to miners; block validation efficiency has been greatly improved through libraries and hardware; forging confirmed transactions would require breaking SHA256—if that were achievable, then BTC’s underlying security would already be invalid. Wang Chun believes none of these problems are sufficient to justify protocol changes; only “replaying transactions” has repair value, and it is one of the few modifications worth implementing.
