By any objective metric, BIP-110 is dead. I feel like the people here have to understand that at some level.

Segwit had a more coherent narrative and technical chops behind it than BIP-110, and it still needed a heroic political effort culminating in the New York Agreement and BIP-91 lowering the activation threshold to get it over the finish line. 

BIP-110 doesn't have any of that.

It's not hard to connect the dots that this is entirely a Luke project, given that:

September 2025: [Texts from Luke leak](https://www.therage.co/leaked-luke-dashjr-bitcoin-hardfork/) where he is worried about CSAM, and talking about a fork.  
  
October -> December 2025: An anonymous developer proposes a BIP that, in their own words, targets CSAM. [The proposal](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0110.mediawiki) credits Luke at the bottom.  


January 2026 -> The anonymous developer PRs straight to Luke's Github and Luke's node implementation. When I looked at the PR review, I didn't see this developer push back on any of Luke's suggested changes.  


There's essentially no daylight between the anonymous dev and Luke on twitter. This dev's twitter account has no history and appears to solely exist to advocate for BIP-110 and agree with Luke.  
  
Why even bother with the anonymity? To actually do the political work necessary to get this across the finish line, BIP-110 needed more public figures with actual influence to get consensus from miners and exchanges. Instead you have Luke, Luke's anonymous sock puppet, and a handful of Twitter and Youtube personalities who are just using this for a following and content. Nobody is seriously getting Coinbase and FoundryUSA in a room together to agree to signal for this, so this isn't a serious project.  
  
  
Whether you like it or not, Core is undefeated. Overcoming them required more than code, hubris, and tweets. 

It's Over
