Bitcoin News said in a post on X that Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr has proposed Sept. 1 as a potential target date for a hard fork tied to the BIP-110 proof-of-work change. He said the change should take place when BIP-110 “should have activated.” Dathon Ohm, the author of BIP-110, said the community is currently working on a proposal to modify Bitcoin’s proof-of-work algorithm. He also said the plan is to “make miners go away,” while accusing large mining pools of joining forces to oppose the BIP-110 initiative. Asked how the network would remain secure after existing miners exit, Ohm replied: “We will hire new miners.” The remarks, as cited by Bitcoin News, center on the proposed proof-of-work change, a possible Sept. 1 timeline, opposition from large mining pools, and questions around network security under the plan.
