Now now no need to kill the coders if they design something that works
The most important thing is the utility but it I get this right lighthouse --> Bitcoin foundation 2.0 ?
Janssens said that the Bitcoin Foundation has failed to meet critical funding needs owing to the structure and operational tendencies of the organization, necessitating a project like Lighthouse.

Yea, it's just going to add complexity to BTC and would be taking coins out of circulation anyways. They should rather impliment safety elements, into the protocol itself, to disable the need for 3rd parties to supply
online wallets.
Would make adoption of the currency easier.
But I am getting off topic ...sorry.

Yes let's give the guy who is against what Bitcoins is, money. We need to turn our backs on him and don't forget he wanted to redlist/blacklist coins. He will never be a core developer in my mind, he will always be an enemy of bitcoin! If you give money to him you will also be an enemy of bitcoin!
The red/black listing of coins thing is troubling. I don't think he will ever get any traction with that idea but it certainly gives people reason to not trust him.

dunno if true or not but this sounded funny
"Janssens argued that the Bitcoin Foundation was failing to adequately fund bitcoin core development"
funny cause I can't imagine of them giving anything to anyone to develop anything.

Mike Hearn is an ego-driven "developer" that only cares about himself.
The fact anyone gave him any money at all just shows how well he can spin himself as a steward of Bitcoin, when the reality is he's just angling for his payday.
I can't wait for Wall Street to step in and eat his lunch for him.

"Hey guys, I'm always using bitcoin to pay for my lunchtime sandwiches, what say we make that easier by adding a block reward confiscation mechanism that miners vote on with their impartial free will, bitcoin's broken if it doesn't work!"

Question could be ...Can Core Developers be bought?
"Janssens added that a decentralized funding solution takes the politics out of the financing of bitcoin-related development," And then they throw funds at it.
Who is paying Core Developers? {Satoshi is still listed as a core developer} So find who is paying him, and we find Satoshi.
These are some of the fears, countries may have, who wants to adopt BTC
