F2Pool Co-founder Wang Chun: Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not be pushed forward through methods like "bundled legislation" that force the process.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun stated on the X platform that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not be pushed forward forcibly, and he opposes BIP-110 and BIP-54. He believes that many issues lack urgency, and only the "replay transaction" problem warrants fixing. Other issues such as time warp attacks and forged confirmed transactions do not require protocol modifications.

Golden Finance reports that Wang Chun, a co-founder of F2Pool, posted on the X platform stating that the Bitcoin protocol upgrade should not involve approaches similar to the “bundling bills” that American politicians force through. This is also an important reason for his opposition to BIP-110 and BIP-54. Several issues being discussed lack real urgency: for example, the “Timewarp” attack has existed for a long time, but it provides no substantive help to miners’ earnings; block validation efficiency has been significantly improved by libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades, so there is no need for protocol-layer adjustments; and “forging already-confirmed transactions” fundamentally relies on cracking double-SHA256 collision—if it were to work, it would mean that the security of Bitcoin Core has been breached. Wang Chun added that none of the issues above are sufficient to justify protocol changes; at present, only the “duplicate transactions” issue has some repair value, and it may be one of the few changes worth implementing.
