Bitcoin breaking news: F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun criticized the push for mandatory protocol updates BIP-110 and BIP-54, comparing it to U.S. politicians bundling legislation. He stated that most issues are not urgent, pointing to no real impact from time-warp attacks and enhanced block validation through existing technology. Wang added that breaking SHA256 would already compromise Bitcoin’s security, leaving only duplicate transactions as a concern.

According to ME News, on April 4 (UTC+8), Wang Chun, co-founder of F2Pool, posted on X, clearly opposing the Bitcoin BIP-110 and BIP-54 protocol upgrades. His primary argument is against the forced implementation of such changes, likening them to the “bundled legislation” tactics used by U.S. politicians. He noted that most issues currently under discussion lack practical urgency: time-warp attacks offer no real benefit to miners; block validation efficiency has already been significantly improved through libraries and hardware; forging transaction confirmations would require breaking SHA256—if this were possible, BTC’s underlying security would already be compromised. Wang Chun believes none of these issues justify protocol modifications, with the exception of “replay transactions,” which alone hold remedial value and represent the only change worth implementing.
