Bitcoin BIP Editor Luke Dashjr Removed After BIP-110 Failure, Steps Back From Ocean

tags. Now, let's translate each heading and paragraph. Original:

Luke Dashjr, one of Bitcoin Core's earliest contributors, was removed as Bitcoin BIP Editor on Sunday after a vote by other developers, following the failure of BIP-110, a softfork he championed. The decision was posted on the BIP GitHub, and Dashjr responded by calling it "an abuse of power by Core" and announcing a sabbatical from his role as chairman and CTO of mining company Ocean.

The vote to remove Dashjr

The motion to strip Dashjr of his editor role cited his heavy involvement in BIP-110, inconsistent editorial practices, and conflict-of-interest concerns. It passed by a vote of other Bitcoin developers and was published on the BIP GitHub on Sunday, August 9, 2026. Dashjr has said the developers have no authority to remove him, but the decision stands for now.
