Fork the bitcoin code with a new development team. I will say this is very much needed and have two different paths for bitcoin full nodes. Gives better choice, but right now most people accept the bitcoin core dev team without understanding why two groups deving would benefit bitcoin so much!

I might be interested in participating in that.  Let me know when you've got it organized.

UHMMMMMM I have a lot on my plate, and to add this to it, would be a disservice to building a great dev core that I would feel comfortable saying to people to use it.

In the future more people will be qualified to dev Bitcoin, but at this time the pool of qualified programmers probably isn't very big.

If there are funds to pay market salaries, there will not be any problem. The code is very clean and organized, the used cryptography is well known. Any experienced programmer can undestand and work on it. There are thousands of programmers looking for a job right now. If i had time to analyze the full code i could do it myself, there is nothing mystical in it.

C++ should be taught in college for any programmer. I do know that it isn't required and I am glad I took it.

Learn coding an economics and propose some things. There are no rules about who can and cannot propose a change. If your ideas are good people will get behind them.

That's not how it works.
The final word is from the foundation man, they are in full control of it. They do whatever they want , and ignore whatever they do not want.

Has anyone ever made a credible guesstimate as to how wealthy the Bitcoin Foundation is?
and/or do they issue a regular financial statement?

How to get BTC Foundation out of Bitcoin development?
Based on the huge, historical increase in BTC prices, I think "the battle" is going to be fought against an extremely wealthy opponent.
Anyone have an idea how wealthy they really are?


The bitcoin foundation mission is to standardize, protect and promote Bitcoin. In other words, they are kind of a marketing club  Smiley

It's interesting that they now seem to be linked with mass fraud, money laundering, and pedophilia, amongst other things. They're very good at something, but it's not promoting Bitcoin.

this would be nice.
but it would require the current devs to write some documentation Wink

Yes. This is the right solution.

Terminated.
I'm not sure how this would be done. The majority would need to vote to get them to stand by.

The bitcoin foundation does not and cannot control btc. Bitcoin is decentralized : there are many different nodes participating to create the network. Every single node of them is a computer running some machine code. This code is open source, you can look at it, change it etc.

the foundation does not control bitcoin. the devs dont control it either.
so i guess your question is how to get the core-devs to step out of the foundation?

maybe offer them a salary? dont know, but i dont think its very important.
i dont like the foundation, but dont overhype their possibilites Wink

I knew it was going to be the first thing to be posted. But that's not how it works.
They do control it. The descentralized consensus thing while almost a fact(few people has most of the hash rate), it does not prevent any wrong doing or taking the development in a direction that does not please the community(where it is already going)

Yes, salaries are probably needed.
But there are other matters.

The Bitcoin foundation currently fully controls it.

I believe that it is an urgent matter to get them out,  people should discuss it seriously and put something in practice as soon as possible.

Not only the bitcoin foundation has proven since the early days to be an institution with no morals on its highest level of membership, i.e.:

    Charlie Shrem

    Mark Karpeles

    Brock Pierce

And now we have this fully connected to the BTC Foundation:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/all-things-considered-brock-pierce-et-al-wpoll-610521

That's insane to leave the development in the hands of people of dubious morals(the Foundation) and connected with an obscure private club(The Buffalo thing).

Edit: The foundation is also fully aligned with governement interests. They are sitted in a huge amount of bitcoins, a big part stolen by the way, the original concept of bitcoin does not really matter to them, they just want to cash out billions and then leave.
