I personally would not welcome anyone into the bitcoin foundation. I would also say it is not exactly something to 'congratulate' someone about in getting elected to the board of TBF

I want to congratulate the winners and hope that they are the right persons to push the BTC foundation's agenda into the major fold. I think we all should be thoroughly enthused for this outcome.

Yeah , I heard that the developpers of the Bitcoin COre gets like 100k $ a year , is that true ? and all those payments are from the Donations of the members ?? sounds interessting .

Hmm. I'm not sure what the developers are paid?  That is a lot of money, however Gavin is a MIT computer scientist.  I'll try to find out, and I know they are paid in Bitcoin.

I believe Gavin was paid $160K under the auspices that he needed the money in spite of giving an interview that his stash of bitcoins could afford him and his wife to retire.

Congratulations for both of you guys Grin
I never understood how Bitcoin Foundation works to be honest or why people pay to become members there etc ... beside Electrions for what exactly I can seem to get it .

Yeah It doesnt seem to be for anything special

They do several things such as pay the people who develop bitcoin core, help maintain factual resources such as: https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-documentation There are also commities working on projects related to education, legal advocacy, etc... You can see more about that here: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/index.php?

Welcome and congratulations to Jim Harper and Olivier Janssens! I think both are fine additions as individual members. I also really liked the new election system. It was very transparent and fair. I think Brian Gross gets a lot of credit for that. And Michale Toomim for his awesome consider.it software.

Thanks also to the other candidates. It was a harder decision this time because of the glut of qualified candidates. Not a bad problem to have!   

Congratz for both of you guys Smiley
i already heard some podcast which interview about bitcoin foundation candidates, and yeah i choose Oliver Grin

What is the status of Cody Wilson ? I think, he ran for the election ?

He was eliminated in the first round. He did get a respectable 21% approval. Here is a link to the first round results:

And here is a link to the consider.it tool that was used to compare candidates and gauge voter sentiment: https://bitcoin.consider.it/

I have my doubts as usual. Anyhow, congratulations to both of you.
