Bitcoin system at DEFCON 5. Everything running smoothly.

All system is nominal.

Their website looks like all is OK with Bitcoin.
That's because everything is OK with Bitcoin. The network is running nominally, as for the reference client development towards 0.9 is progressing, 0.8.2 will be released soon. Along the way, more and more companies are adopting BTC payments.

The price that people are trading BTC for changes nothing, and even the that is mostly back to before the crazy media attention and resulting demand shock.



Where can I read more about 0.8.2 or 0.9? Is there anything besides browsing git?

... it only gets better...
Bitcoin volatility is probably be best left for free market to work out. Otherwise, we'd be dealing with some artificial shit.

How much money have you spent compensating people to work on the protocol? If you did pay to make something Bitcoin related better for us all, I would thank you rather than mock your efforts.

If they don't want nor plan on making any comment about the market price, I'd be fine with that.

So what has the Bitcoin Foundation done lately besides "pay Gavin's salary"
Actually that's the only thing I would donate for, but since I can't be sure how much of my donation will go to that and how much will go to other activities I might not agree with, I haven't given Bitcoin Foundation any donations. I don't like the model of, "you have give us the money first and then you'll find out how we are going to spend it."

They're cultivating elitism, which requires all their resources.

So what has the Bitcoin Foundation done lately besides "pay Gavin's salary" (how unfortunate that the Bitcoin development model requires its workers to go hat in hand for donations)?

What steps has the Bitcoin Foundation taken in the last week of volatility (besides endorse government regulation)?


Just nothing. They even don't have any articles about the crash in their blog. Their website looks like all is OK with Bitcoin.
