Odaily Planet Daily reports that Bitcoin News posted on X that Bitcoin developer Chris Guida has re-adapted Luke Dashjr’s 2017 proof-of-work modification code to the latest version of Bitcoin Knots, as an emergency fallback for miners who refuse to signal support for BIP-110. This proposal serves as a last-resort option to replace the existing mining network if major mining pools are deemed to oppose the BIP-110 soft fork. Luke Dashjr expressed his hope that the solution will not be needed, “but it’s probably best to prepare in advance, just in case.” Supporters such as Mechanic have endorsed preparing the code ahead of time, noting that the threat of a proof-of-work change helps ensure miners remain accountable to node operators rather than dictating Bitcoin’s rules.
