Adam Back pushes back on BIP-110 claims, says spam limits cannot be forced by soft fork

A dispute around Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 110, or BIP-110, is drawing attention in the Bitcoin community after the proposal sought to restrict non-financial data stored on the Bitcoin blockchain. Supporters of the proposal have been looking to push the rule change through a user-activated soft fork, or UASF, but miner backing is still well short of the activation threshold mentioned in the report. The debate has raised questions over whether it could turn into a broader governance split inside the Bitcoin network. Blockstream CEO Adam Back criticized arguments made by BIP-110 supporters in a post on X. He said the claim that “Bitcoin supports spam” is wrong and argued that no Bitcoin participant likes spam data on the network. Back also said Bitcoin cannot achieve absolute censorship at the mathematical level. In his view, BIP-110 has multiple flaws, would not operate effectively, and has therefore failed to win network consensus. He added that trying to push through rule changes without consensus could end in a split resembling Bitcoin SV, or BSV.

Adam Back Says Bitcoin Doesn't Support Spam, Warns BIP-110 Could End in BSV-Style Fork

According to a ChainCatcher report, Blockstream CEO Adam Back has come out against BIP-110 supporters, dismissing the idea that Bitcoin supports spam as incorrect. He said all Bitcoin participants dislike spam on the network. Back argued that Bitcoin cannot achieve absolute censorship at the mathematical level, and that the BIP-110 proposal has multiple flaws, cannot run effectively, and has not gained network consensus. Back also stressed that forcing rule changes without consensus could end in a fork similar to Bitcoin SV (BSV). The controversy around BIP-110 dates back to its plan to restrict non-financial data storage on the Bitcoin blockchain. Supporters of the proposal wanted to implement it through a user-activated soft fork (UASF). Miner support at the current stage is still far from the threshold needed for activation. Market participants are now watching to see whether the dispute turns into a wider governance split in the Bitcoin network.
