当你浏览红迪网的比特币社区时,你总能找到一些有趣的事情,
比特币早期使用者和自称比特币百万富翁奥利维尔·詹森在社区悬赏10万美元,谁可以开发一个软件平台取代比特币基金会。
当然,比特币基金会是比特币社区的主要参与者。该基金会说,他们的网站和他们的存在都是比特币合法化的关键。
但最近几周,不少人不同意该基金会的发展方向 – 以至于一些成员甚至是年会成员(不续会籍)辞职。
“在过去的2年里,比特币基金会有它的作用,。不幸的是,它只是在内部重建古老的政治制度,无法工作于现代社会。比特币是互联网时代的货币,”詹森写道。
“你不能指望一个古老的政治制度能代表相反的东西:一个不透明,政治化和秘密精英。多年来,我们一直在努力推动基金会的透明化和清晰化,无果而终。与此同时,他们甚至开始在内部建立更多的政治结构,如委员会,这只能让少数人知道内情了。 “
詹森说,任何人都可以参与到这个项目来,创建一个开源软件,他将能够提供启动资金,直到它变成自筹资金的项目。
他的帖子最初遭到怀疑,直到他转移了250比特币(超过10万美元)到一个新的钱包,一起签名的消息证明了他的身份。
现在的问题是:是否有人揭悬赏令?

You can always find some interesting things when you browser the Bitcoin subreddit on social sharing website Reddit.
An early adopter and self-proclaimed bitcoin millionaire Olivier Janssens took to the page to propose a $100,000 bounty to anyone who can develop a software platform that could replace the Bitcoin Foundation.
The Bitcoin Foundation, of course, is a major player in the bitcoin community. The Foundation says on their website their presence is critical in order to bring legitimacy to bitcoin.
But many in the community have disagreed with the direction the Foundation has taken in recent weeks — so much so that a number of members have even resigned from being annual members (not renewing their membership).
“The Bitcoin foundation has had its role in the last 2 years. Unfortunately, it is internally recreating the same archaic political system that fails to work for society. Bitcoin is the currency of the internet generation,” writes Janssens.
“You cannot expect its main representative organisation to be exactly the opposite: A non-transparent, political and secretive elite. We have been trying to push the BF for transparency and clear communication for years, without result. Meanwhile they started creating even more political structures inside, such as committees, which can only be accessed by knowing the right people.”
He adds:
“Half of their board gets elected by industry members (a group of about 100 companies), and recently lead to another extremely controversial election of Brock Pierce, which has a history of being connected to cases involving fraud and pedophilia. This needs to stop.”
“We as an internet community, don’t need public figures to decide what’s good for us. We need to stop politicking and start focussing on the projects directly.”
According to Janssens, the community needs to fund things like bitcoin core development and lobbying in Washington (to fight the big companies’ lobbyists) directly — sans intermediary.
“Therefor [sic], I want to announce today that I am organising a contest and giving $100k USD in BTC, to the group that can come up with the best platform to make this happen. I am thinking of a system where prominent people can voice their opinion, where people can propose projects, and where the core devs can actively show their roadmap with detailed features + costs, and where we can vote on the features being implemented by sending bitcoins towards the feature of our choice.”
He continues:
“This will allow the core dev team to expand by being able to add/pay more devs for feature requests which are fully funded. Maybe we can even evolve to a system later where anyone can work on a feature, which, when programmed properly (approved by the core team), will receive the bounty. The same applies to lobbyists, we just send bitcoins towards the one that we consider the most competent for the job. This will allow Bitcoin to grow and expand at a rate it deserves, a rate that a political organisation such as the foundation can never accomplish.”
Janssens says anyone can participate in this project to create an open-source software, adding that he would be able to cover initial costs until it could be self-funded.
His post was initially met with skepticism until he moved 250 bitcoins (a bit over $100,000) into a new wallet along with a signed message proving his identity.
The question now is: will anyone take him up on his offer?
