F2Pool Co-founder Wang Chun: BTC protocol upgrade should not be pushed through like a "bundled bill"; only repeated transactions are worth fixing

MeNews · 2026-04-08T10:22:42+00:00

ME News reports that on April 4th (UTC+8), F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun posted on the X platform, explicitly opposing the protocol upgrades for Bitcoin BIP-110 and BIP-54. His main reason is to oppose forced advancement similar to the "bundling legislation" style pushed by American politicians. He pointed out that most of the issues currently discussed are not actually urgent: time warp attacks do not yield substantial benefits for miners; block verification efficiency has been significantly improved through libraries and hardware; forging confirmed transactions would require cracking SHA256, which, if achieved, would compromise the underlying security of BTC. Wang Chun believes these issues are insufficient to justify protocol modifications; only "replay transactions" have repair value and are among the few changes worth implementing.

ME News message. On April 4 (UTC+8), F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun posted on the X platform, explicitly opposing the Bitcoin BIP-110 and BIP-54 protocol upgrade. The core reason he cited is opposition to the forced push of an amendment-style “bundling bill” similar to what U.S. politicians do. He pointed out that most of the issues being discussed currently have no real urgency: time-warp attacks provide miners with no substantive benefits; block verification efficiency has already been greatly improved through the use of libraries and hardware; forging confirmed transactions would require cracking SHA256, and if that were possible, then the security of the BTC underlying layer would already be compromised. Wang Chun believes these issues are not sufficient to justify protocol changes; only “replay transactions” have value for fixing, and they are the few changes worth implementing. (Source: PANews)
