Luke Dashjr

Mantenedor · Desarrollador · CTO

The lead maintainer of Bitcoin Knots, a long-standing Bitcoin Core contributor, and chairman and chief technology officer of the mining pool Ocean.

Luke Dashjr is named on bitcoinknots.org as the lead maintainer of Bitcoin Knots, which is where the announce mailing list records that only he may post to it.

He has written Bitcoin standards that shipped. The BIP index credits him as author of BIP 22 and BIP 23, the two proposals that define getblocktemplate for solo and pooled mining, both listed as Deployed, and as co-author with Shaolin Fry of BIP 8, on version bits with lock-in by height. He is also the author of BIP 2, the revision of the BIP process itself.

Ocean, the mining pool, lists him as chairman and chief technology officer, describes him as its longest tenured Bitcoin Core developer, and records that he wrote and started the mining pool Eligius in 2011.

He argues in public that data-carrying uses of the chain should be filtered rather than accommodated. Opening a Bitcoin Core issue in January 2024, he wrote that since the end of 2022 "attackers have found a way to bypass this limit by obfuscating their spam inside OP_FALSE OP_IF patterns instead of using the standardized OP_RETURN", and listed the options he considered available, from policy limits on script size to a soft fork. Bitcoin Knots ships several of those options; Bitcoin Core does not.
