Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr is reportedly considering a hard fork to remove non-financial data from the blockchain using zero-knowledge proofs. The proposal, revealed in leaked private messages, suggests a quorum of signers could redact objectionable data while maintaining financial transactions. This has ignited debate, with critics arguing it could compromise Bitcoin's immutability and censorship resistance. Blockstream CEO Adam Back labeled the proposal a potential 'censorship tech' risk, while Dashjr disputed the leaks' accuracy. The discussion underscores a philosophical divide on Bitcoin's adaptability to external pressures.
