A dispute surrounding Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110 has resulted in the removal of developer Luke Dashjr from his role as a BIP editor. His privileges were revoked after other developers voiced concerns about his conduct concerning the proposal and its associated, but ultimately unsuccessful, minority chain fork.

The process to remove Dashjr was initiated by fellow Bitcoin developer Mark Erhardt, who first proposed the action on the Bitcoin Developer mailing list before opening a formal pull request on Sunday.

According to Erhardt, Dashjr was "heavily involved" in the creation and implementation of BIP 110. Erhardt alleged that Dashjr exhibited unfair bias towards the proposal in his capacity as an editor. The specific claims of favoritism included an attempt by Dashjr to assign the proposal a BIP number prior to any discussion on the mailing list, as well as the rapid merging of an update to it.

Following the mailing-list discussion, developer Jon Atack confirmed that Dashjr's editor and administrator access to the BIPs repository had been revoked. Atack then proceeded to merge the pull request, which officially removed Dashjr's name from the list of BIP editors.

In response to his removal, Dashjr stated, "This is just an abuse of power by Core. They have no authority to do so."

BIP 110 was designed to place a temporary limit on the quantity of arbitrary data that can be included within Bitcoin transactions. The implementation of this proposal caused a minority chain split when nodes enforcing its rules began rejecting blocks produced by miners who did not signal their support. However, this fork quickly failed, stalling out due to a lack of significant hashpower support from the mining community.
