Blockchain Report on Nostr: Wang Chun, co-founder of F2Pool, has publicly stated that Bitcoin protocol upgrades ...
Wang Chun, co-founder of F2Pool, has publicly stated that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not be pushed through using a "bundle" approach similar to that employed by some U.S. politicians. This sentiment is the basis for his rejection of BIP-110 and BIP-54. Wang Chun believes the four issues these proposals aim to address – including time deviation attacks, excessively time-consuming block validation, forged payment proofs, and duplicate transactions – are relatively minor, historical edge cases. He argues these issues do not warrant the significant coordination costs, node upgrade efforts, and community attention required for a soft fork. Wang Chun emphasized that Bitcoin has numerous known vulnerabilities beyond these four, and that development resources should be concentrated on more critical and impactful issues.
