Bitcoin developer prepares emergency plan if BIP-110 is rejected

Bitcoin developer Chris Guida said he has reworked 2017 proof-of-work change code to fit the latest version of Bitcoin Knots as a contingency plan if miners do not back the Bitcoin BIP-110 proposal, according to Bitcoin News. The proposal would be used as a last resort to replace the existing mining network if major mining pools are deemed not to support the BIP-110 soft fork. Luke Dashjr said he hopes the measure is never used, but added in verbatim English, "만약의 사태에 대비해 미리 준비해 두는 것이 좋다". Supporters including Mechanic endorsed preparing the code in advance and argued a PoW change threat is needed so miners fulfill their responsibilities to node operators rather than driving Bitcoin's rules. BIP-110 seeks to reduce the amount of data that can be stored in Bitcoin transactions, limiting non-monetary transactions such as Ordinals.
