Topic: Bitcoin Foundation to repair relationship with community - page 4. (Read 5536 times)
yes, new leader, please acknowledge all people at altcoin subforum.. all 30 of them.
I don't think many/any foundation (or similar entity that accepts donations) is ever going to be willing to give refunds in the way that you request.
I find "traditional establishments would never do this" to be a particularly uncompelling argument within the bitcoin space. The whole point of bitcoin should be to NOT make the same mistakes of traditional institutions. From this perspective, the foundation has failed so far. When their chief scientist abandoned them, and stated reasons like lack of transparency, that was a major red flag for me - and should be for any bitcoiner.
I will be getting the popcorn ready for sure 
DOH!!!

When Andreas left the foundation, I requested a refund of my 0.3 BTC donation for lifetime membership. They denied my request.
Allowing refunds would be a great place to start building good will. Maybe if I like the new direction you take the foundation I'll donate again, but holding my donation hostage in an entity that has changed is not cool.
I don't think many/any foundation (or similar entity that accepts donations) is ever going to be willing to give refunds in the way that you request. When a foundation receives a donation they will plan their budget accordingly however if they were to honor requests to refund donations then they would have no way to make a budget. Allowing refunds would be a great place to start building good will. Maybe if I like the new direction you take the foundation I'll donate again, but holding my donation hostage in an entity that has changed is not cool.
What you are asking is also essentially that they buy people's trust

Not to sound like a jerk, but who cares about the Bitcoin Foundation? Isn't the whole point of bitcoin so we don't have to deal with bureaucratic bullshit? In my eyes, they're 100% totally irrelevant, and just created themselves a bunch of good paying jobs.
Hell with it, I'm starting Bitcoin Foundation 2.0 -- who's in? If we play our cards right, we can all be making 7 figures within the next 12 months for not doing much except talking. Cool deal, eh?

Sadly there are many people who like to sit on a board and feel important. To feel like an Illuminati and have the power over something, anything.
It's also sad that the wrong type of people usually want to be on these boards for their own types of interest and investments.

Sadly also, boards never accomplish anything.
I'd join your 2.0, except I ain't got no time to sip coffee and watch the hours go by!
Sadly also I'd have to agree, I find it hard to believe that the Bitcoin Foundation can do anything to dig themselves out of the hole they find themselves in. Some things are irreparable. And some organizations are useless. We don't need their "power". And we don't need for them to take out money.
I got an email a week ago from Snapcard. They are going to push to have San Francisco business accept bitcoin, giving tons of business free tablets and teaching them how to do this. These are people who are helping Bitcoin. Not the Foundation.
Can't wait for the AMA 
Why? Doubt he'd answer any controversial questions or question we want asked. Someone should ask them to disband or put unnoficial in front of their name
.I don't think he'll be able to avoid difficult questions as those will probably be the majority. So the question is, whether he'll provide honest answers or feed us with some bullshit.
Not necessarily looking for real answers but the uncertainties in how it will go on both the question and answer sides will make it entertaining to read.
That's for sure. Get your popcorn ready.

It's about time!
All they did was ruin the Bitcoin decentralisaton image.

The foundation ruins the imagine by its very existence.
100% agree. I've always been against even when they were partially liked by the community.
I don't see how something like The Foundation could ever represent the rest of the community. Being centralised and with members who have business interests in bitcoin they're obviously going to become biased or corrupt.
This.
Centalised foundation for a decentralised movement. Insane.
Can't wait for the AMA

They won't repair the relationship between the community even if they did they would just do some other idiotic thing once again.
They lost me the day they let Brock Pierce crawl his way in
