Miners and full-node operators should view any updates with great skepticism, and only update after an extended vetting process by other developers.

Development, above all needs to become more distributed and rivalrous. If I the US govt is smart, they will be using Gavin and the foundation to perpetuate the unfortunate culture of consensus surrounding responsibility for the core protocol code.

Even more dangerous (in my opinion) is the reverence with which bitcoiners treat the foundation as the home of core development.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Faggart?

You'd think he'd change his name.

it sounds like yogurt for a fag.. naturally, it would be pink in color  Cheesy

btw, i've looked up bitcoin foundation's wiki, and i still don't know wtf they actually do. can someone educate me?

The Bitcoin Foundation exists to serve as a grim reminder of the failure of centralization.

If centralization is such a failure, then why is Brock Pierce putting all his entities under one roof, albeit it was first billed as only GoCoin's new digs, with the three year lease painstakingly put together by a Realtor after the former client, ironically a Bitcoiner, left(?).

The game is called: You pat my ass, and I'll pat yours.

Hate to say it, but with a name like Evan Faggart, you know he got beat up as a kid.   Tongue

I wonder... if he went to school with Travis Skewers... and why certain namesakes always seem to gravity toward Brock "Hot Tub" Pierce, "The Godfather of Bitcoin", now to his third-story-nursery (double entendre intended) located overlooking the Third Street Promenade, a historic building he has aspirations of owning.

If one can't see the similarities of what's happening now with what transpired commencing 15 years ago as seen in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmaRTZpJgPA, then I have have a cryptocurrency exchange fully complying with US laws with nary an issue for you. Twelve thousand members, and counting, with millions of dollars, bitcoins, et al. on account can't be wrong.

BTW, neither Evan Faggart nor Travis Skewers are members of TBF, as seen here: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/members/. What's even odder is that many of the names currently associated with Brock Pierce, some penning in threads on this forum in his defense, are also NOT members of TBF. Perhaps, they're all members of the Reasonably Intelligent Cult Brock spoke of, opting to not allocate their precious to two foundations having the same accused pedophile on its boards, fearing the old saw, "What will the neighbors thing?"

Well, Evan Faggart is just a writer at Coin Brief.  He has no relationship to TBF, or any of the individual members, in any way.  His issue is not,"What will the neighbors think?" as much as the belief that a centralized organization should not represent a decentralized system, such as Bitcoin.

I need to apologize on two funds concerning my quoted post above.

First, you are correct about Evan Faggart. The person I had in mind was Kevin Beardsley, so please chalk this up to me being either tired when I penned it, had too much info on my mind desiring to relay, or both. My apologies to Evan Faggart.

Secondly, I misspelled Travis Skweres' last name incorrectly, but that was not my intent in the above, although I have a many times bastardized names in the past, and will probably do the same with Mr. Skweres in the future, to date, regard all my previous misspellings as Freudian slips.

Brock is doing the same thing that Marie Karpeles did by creating layers of entities giving the appearance of decentralization. However, as you pointed out, these seemingly autonomous entities are really one in the same.

For example, Mark used the Bitcoin Foundation to lure his victims into MTGox. The Bitcoin Foundation validated MTGox in the eyes of the consumer. When things got bad Mark retreated out of his entity , the Bitcoin foundation after transferring assets to Gavin from Tibanne ltd. (another Karpeles entity). If Mark needed a new entity his Kalyhost entity could instantiate a new one.
To the uninformed customer, you think that you are making choices but in reality you are being manipulated and directed like rats in a maze.

And, if being manipulated and directed and produced like rats in a maze is not your glass of wine, welcome to Bitrotoplis' Third Street Promenade starring Brock Pierce and his Motley Crews of merry boy-toys, lead by none other then SocialRadius' Michael "Brock Party" Terpin.

For those thinkin' that Yours Truly has totally lost his fuckin' mind by penning the above, well, You Have Another Thing Comin'.

What better place to hold an exclusive CES party then within a once accused pedophile's Mediterranean Contemporary home. (Think one man's Pattaya is another man's Spanish beach house.)



And, if that's not creepy enough for you, try this on for size.

Wanna take a guess as to who was responsible for the above video going viral, having 25,113,222 views - and counting?

None other that Mr. Neosporin (with apologies to Neo & Bee's customers) himself.

Quote
One person who understood how to leverage social media was Barack Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe. Obama’s campaign inspired numerous digital campaign messages produced on their own by Obama’s supporters. One of the most popular was musician Will.i.am’s video “Yes We Can.” Michael Terpin of SocialRadi.us was hired to promote it online.

Here, he describes his very successful strategy:

...Perhaps, they're all members of the Reasonably Intelligent Cult Brock spoke of....

How do Reasonably Intelligent people resolve the fact that he fled the country (with his partners) when the heat was on?
Leaving in a hurry is what guilty people do more often than the innocent, correct?

I'm not so sure about all of that...

First, I think Gavin is a decent guy, and you can't necessarily attribute the failings of TBF to the developers.

Second, I don't think Karpeles put that much thought into it.  He doesn't seem to be a cunning thief as much as inept but overconfident.  I could be wrong about that of course.  Maybe he is really a very astute con man playing the role of the clueless, socially inept programmer.

The Bitcoin Foundation is just a special interest group with known criminals in their ranks, passing itself off as some kind of official Bitcoin entity, which it is NOT. They are now actively damaging Bitcoin and its reputation. Time to help it die.

However in that round of resignations after promoting a possible sex offender at the top, I would say their credibility is on fire.

The election was so close, it's a shame the gyft.com CEO didn't win.
The one "last-minute" vote Phinnaeus Gage mentioned (along with just one other) made a huge difference in the outcome.

i did some reading up on these guys, and was quite surprised to find out that this boy-butthole-raper is part of bryan singer's pedo ring. well, that's um.. news.

i hope he gets J.A. buffalo'd in jail.. but then he'd probably like it. bryan singer would probably ask to be in the same cell as him.
