GO bitcoinfoundation, they'r the best thing to ever happen to bitcoin.

Why do you say the Bitcoin Foundation is the best thing to ever happen to bitcoin....?
Are you serious?
Is MtGox also the best exchange ever?

No MtGox was a horrible trajedy.

The Bitcoin foundation however, has been instrumental is spreading bitcoin, they are our dear leaders. Go bitcoin foundation!

Not sure about the latter, but Bitcoin-Central has the entire European theatre covered with their venerable exchange as seen below.

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitcoin-central.net

-

Bitcoin-Central.net (& .com) is own by davout, of which is owned by Paymium, of which davout is an owner. Bitcoin Central is the only entity left of the five that Paymium built with their $400K USD VC from Gilitt. Then again, what would one expect to have with ONLY $400K USD?

The way I'm seeing it is that the only people living high on the hog are the ones acting as the liaison between the VCs and the end users of any products/services provided, with many of them getting the shaft.

Sunlot is no better, for if you research their VCs, you see a many failed ventures as well. I firmly believe that Autumn Radtke knew it, thus decided to commit suicide(?) with her body found here:

Autumn jumped(?) from her 2nd story apartment and the wind carried her body two blocks away and landed here. Note to self: Very windy in Singapore.

As far as I'm concerned the Bitcoin Foundation is irrelevant, they only have their name to make people think they are something to do with Bitcoin, it's a bit like how the Federal Reserve uses the word 'Federal' to make people think they're part of the government. Speaking as someone who holds to mainly Anarchist beliefs, they can fuck off, I can see exactly what they're trying to do and they're trying to make some kind of centralised company or group for Bitcoin itself, I'm grateful the devs don't really seem to give a shit and continue to release the code open source.

What you say is true. But we need somebody to explain this to people in general, big time. What kind of a method would work, to explain I mean?

The bigger and more popular the Foundation gets, the more they centralize Bitcoin. Why? Because the PEOPLE are so used to centralization, that they naturally look for something centralized to be a leader. Just look at all the business exchanges do.

The Foundation is NOT irrelevant. It's downright dangerous to the little bit of freedom that Bitcoin has brought into being among us.

To pay developers all they need is to post a donation address. Nobody needs a foundation for this.

TBF is a closed circle following a questionable political agenda which is not in the best interest of the bitcoin community as a whole (e.g. "regulation").

Or people can just not use bitcoin-qt. Let the foundation play in their own bitcoin-qt only network.

Quote from: bananas on May 03, 2014, 10:27:35 AM

It is just a private group of scammers and other kind of criminals, as other poster said their group name is just to cause confusion. But it is worrying 'cause as far as i know core developers are founding members of such group. We can't let bitcoin development in their hands.

The Bitcoin Foundation pays Gavin and other developers to contribute to the protocol and client. Without the foundation, Bitcoin development and growth would decrease dramatically. Heartbleed could have been avoided if more donations were made to the OpenSSL foundation. If you want to stop using bitcoin-qt go ahead...you are still using the blockchain. I encourage both of you to donate to either of these foundations and keep your insipid drivel out of the forums.

Donate to a foundation with criminal records and merely private interests. You gotta be kidding?

We can not put any kind of presume on this foundation. It is their foundation and to be honest best thing we can do is to ignore it or create alternative one.

When is the run-off vote, and do we have (public) access to contact info for every member of the foundation?

Not sure, but unless The Bitcoin Foundation has truly lost its fuckin' mind, Brock Pierce's name won't be on the next ballot.

Perhaps he is a rising star, not ment to be stopped?
Maybe he's on a special assignment and for the greater good we shouldn't question his arrival? Tongue

Care to guess who said the following?

Quote

[P]rostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia ... should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness.
Some rules might be called for when these acts directly affect other people's interests. For incest, contraception could be mandatory to avoid risk of inbreeding. For prostitution, a license should be required to ensure prostitutes get regular medical check-ups, and they should have training and support in insisting on use of condoms. This will be an advance in public health, compared with the situation today.

For necrophilia, it might be necessary to ask the next of kin for permission if the decedent's will did not authorize it. Necrophilia would be my second choice for what should be done with my corpse, the first being scientific or medical use. Once my dead body is no longer of any use to me, it may as well be of some use to someone. Besides, I often enjoy rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants).

Quote

I am skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children. The arguments that it causes harm seem to be based on cases which aren't voluntary, which are then stretched by parents who are horrified by the idea that their little baby is maturing.

Quote

There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children.

Granted, children may not dare say no to an older relative, or may not realize they could say no; in that case, even if they do not overtly object, the relationship may still feel imposed to them. That's not willing participation, it's imposed participation, a different issue.

Quote

I've read that male dolphins try to have sex with humans, and female apes solicit sex from humans. What is wrong with giving them what they want, if that's what turns you on, or even just to gratify them?

That sounds like something Crowley or one of the inbred royals would say...

Brock Pierce overseeing Mount Coxs and a board member of The Bitcoin Foundation would give the media a field day.

BP will serve as a BTC self destruct button if/when they realize that cryptos cannot be controlled. Talk about a FUD bomb..

Given the circumstances surrounding the departure of the two previous directors, one would think that candidates would be chosen who are as "pure as Caesar's wife". This situation casts doubt not only the Bitcoin Foundation, but on the entire Bitcoin Community.

Nay, the whole human race.

Save the Human Race!
Stop Brock from getting elected.

Seriously, someone with his background is really close to getting accepted on the Bitcoin Foundation?
How?
Why?
You must be joking?
