Developer Chris Guida has updated a 2017 proof-of-work hard fork code for Bitcoin Knots as a backup if miners reject the proposed BIP-110 soft fork, which aims to limit non-financial data in Bitcoin transactions for one year. BIP-110 requires over 55% miner support to activate, but early signals show weak miner backing, prompting this contingency. The hard fork would change Bitcoin's mining algorithm, invalidating existing mining hardware, making it a drastic but ready option to enforce the protocol change. This move highlights tensions between node operators and miners over who controls Bitcoin's rules, with some developers emphasizing the primacy of economic nodes over mining power.
