Bitcoin BIP editors remove Luke Dashjr after BIP 110

Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr has been removed as a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal editor after developers escalated concerns over his handling of BIP 110 and the proposal’s stalled minority chain. Summary Luke Dashjr was removed from the Bitcoin BIP editors after a GitHub pull request merged. BIP 110 is now marked Closed after its minority chain stalled following only two blocks. Five BIP editors remain listed in BIP 3 after Dashjr’s name was removed Monday evening. Dashjr rejected the allegations and called his removal an unauthorized abuse of power by Core. OCEAN’s BIP 110 endpoint still showed block 961,633 unchanged about 55 hours after its advance. GitHub records show Jon Atack merged the removal request into the bitcoin/bips repository on Aug. 10. The decision turns the removal motion covered in earlier editor dispute coverage into a completed repository change. At the time of that earlier report, the pull request remained open and Dashjr was still listed among six editors. The current BIP 3 document now lists five: Bryan Bishop, Jon Atack, Mark Erhardt, Olaoluwa Osuntokun and Ruben Somsen.
