I was tagged in an X post by @Stephan Livera correctly dismantling the false narrative that BIP110 is today largely supported by the small block faction of the block size war era. There’s been a bunch of stolen valor post-block size wars: maxis that associated themselves with the small block movement, but actually weren’t around at all during the 2015-2017 years, or at least weren’t well-known at the time. Out of the prominent small blockers of these days, I believe *only* @Luke Dashjr @Luke Dashjr is now in favour of BIP110. Everyone else that I can think of is either against it, or maybe in a few cases still kind of neutral/undecided. FWIW
As I already alluded to earlier today, unless and until any of these guys are willing to take this offer I really think they’re best ignored. No need to invite them on your podcast, or hoist them onto your conference stage for yet another debate, or write a BIP110 explainer as if it’s at all serious. All bark, no bite. View quoted note →
I received a few requests to write an article or record a podcast on BIP110, but frankly I don’t see the point right now. Until someone is willing to put their money (no one has taken on @Rob Hamilton ’s fork futures offer) or hash power (not even Ocean is signaling support) where their mouth is, it’s little more than a DOS-attack on our attention and time.
