BIP-110 could trigger a Bitcoin chain split, hard fork, and even a proof-of-work change. Samson Mow says only 1–2% of hash rate is currently supporting it and calls the potential outcome a “big, juicy nothing burger.” Rustin and Samson break down the BIP-110 controversy and what could happen next. 👇

Tomorrow, independent developer Super Testnet comes on the show to share why he's proposing a User-Rejected Soft Fork for BIP 110 — and explores the different ways a potential 'soft fork war' could play out around BIP 110 in August. This episode is chockfull of soft-fork history, with insights into how changes to consensus have historically been executed and how these processes could shift going forward.

"Is there even such a thing as 'spam' on Bitcoin?" Samson Mow cuts through the argument most Bitcoiners talk past. Native Bitcoin data vs. ordinals, why immutability is the thing being abused, and where the line between spam and not-spam actually sits. The definition the BIP 110 fight keeps dodging. Samson Mow on what actually counts as spam: "There's a simpler way to define spam: it's not an organic Bitcoin transaction — it's trying to do something else. A Bitcoin transaction is data, yes — but it's Bitcoin's native data. If you're sending someone Bitcoin, that's not spam. But a lot of what we're seeing now — ordinals and the like — is trying to embed data and images into Bitcoin to piggyback on its immutability. That's the delineation: this is spam, this is not."

In this video Softfork Mechanic #BIP-110 talks how BIP110 chain would consider a Proof of Work change in case very little hashrate shows up. Curious if Dathon Ohm / BIP-110 is considering adding this to the BIP in case no blocks are found in the first 24 to 48 hours or it's something that's not concerning.

People reaching out: what are you doing with this BIP-110 support? Your reputation is going to hell. It starts with friendly nudging, then threats. And then, when they realize I'm actually tying myself to the mast, it's just straight hostility and smearing. But I don't care what people I don't respect say about me. I don't want any standing or position among people who don't share my principles. I'm very much supporting BIP-110." hodlonaut #BIP-110 on The The Bitcoin Matrix Podcast ⚡️ #286.

This is our shot. The movement is here, the energy is here. The people have stood up and put their skin in the game. So I don't agree at all with 'we must not burn the capital.'
