Yes, I really did give away 10,000 bitcoin through the Bitcoin Faucet. No, sorry, they're all gone, I don't have any more to give away.

People seem to enjoy labeling him as an android piloted by three letter agencies but you'd be hard pressed to point out many others who've done more to advance the scene.   

I think Gavin Andersen is generally a good guy and genuinely wants the best for Bitcoin, and when he says bigger blocks are a good idea he genuinely thinks that's the case. Mike Hearn on the other hand, for some reason makes me thing that he has an agenda. In any case I would expect such 2 intelligent individuals to understand how "specialization" in running full nodes is a big mistake.

 It's run by Roger Ver on Bitcoin.com so everyone is certainly who they claim to be.

Is this really Gavin? Was it verified? I've never heard of this new Bitcoin forum...

Hi Gavin,

Favorite video game all time?

Favorite book all time?

Favorite movie all time?

Theres only so many Bitcoin questions to ask, I've seen/read so much about your views I feel I know what you might answer.

So I went a little "off topic"! (hope thats ok)

these are very important questions!

I'd say it was worth a registration. There'll be plenty more. It's not like Reddit where it's heaving with morons who've drifted in from elsewhere. Most people signed up on there will be pretty clued up and it seems like all of the questions are being addressed.

Im honestly too lazy to register in another forum, but I would love if someone can ask him what does he pretend to do in the case of the blocksize being too big so that average people can't run a node? Why is he ok with centralizing Bitcoin nodes when mining is already centralized? I assume someone has already asked him 40 questions about the blocksize so im going to start reading the 7 pages to see what happened.

For anyone interested Gavin Andresen is doing a AMA on one of those suspicious forums that aren't this one.
