This thread is based upon a lie, perhaps it should be allowed to die?
...or is 'deception' to expose deception a good way to do things?

AndreasMAntonopoulos @aantonop
I can no longer have even the smallest association with the Bitcoin Foundation, because of the complete lack of transparency
Gavin Andresen @gavinandresen
@aantonop "complete lack of transparency" ? Ummm.... so you think the Foundation is completely opaque? Really?

Can't say we haven't been warned.

you paid $100k to join this corrupt and pathetic organization? I don't believe it.
Perhaps this thread should have a "(NOT!)" appended to the name. Or a big red warning on the original post, "caution, read this thread up to this post before replying to the post below".

Probably it would be nice to have an organization of USERS and CONSUMERS of bitcoin. Just to make clear the differentials.
So, the answer is we already have this organization and its called bitcointalk?

Im not sure what to think about bitcoin foundation.
I don't want them representing me.
PG proves himself to be an real gumshoe and digs up the dirt that needs sunshine for disinfection.
The Bitcoin Foundation needs to go away - who gave them power to represent Bitcoin, anyway?
The fact that Andreas Antonolpoulos quit the Bitcoin Foundation says it all.
All of the "believers" that were here when they formed it gave them the power by giving them the membership fees. There were many more people that refused to join (like me). They made their forum closed to everyone but members and secretly plot the direction Bitcoin is headed. We commoners must wait for a foundation member to grace us with information or leak it to the press before we know anything. They don't represent all Bitcoiners. They don't even represent them just in the U.S.

Damn, slick PG. Good work. But honestly is anyone surprised about the BCF being corrupt?
I am surprised that Gavin Anderson is working for the Bitcoin Foundatin.

Sounds like a great Idea.. Maybe I should do the same. It looks like anyone can claim that they paid that amount, so why not? Im not sure what to think about bitcoin foundation.

I've Tl;DRed this thread. Bruno did you really pay 100k to become a platinum sponsor of the foundation?
October 20, 2014, 11:24:02 PM
100k for just one year? You have to pay again next year to maintain your membership? That's gonna add up quickly. I would think 100k would get you a lifetime membership but to each his own.

AFAIK, no one has been able to prove anyone has paid a membership fee...the foundation doesn't publish a privacy violating list of payers / identities & addresses...duh. The expectation that large membership fees would be paid in a single tx is a bit misguided, imho.
Well, I had understood that they promised to accept donations only through a specific address, precisely so that everybody could check their accounting.
But that is indeed an interesting philosophical question: how can we get to trust a Foundation devoted to the cause of a trustless anonymous payment system.
The question is, why do we need a foundation and what has having one done for Bitcoin? Look at the bylaws of the foundation. Specifically, the permanent founding members list. Do you trust an organization with members that can't be removed?

That is, when they refuse to earn your trust by their actions and provide weasely excuses. Better stated, someone arguing for their policy on this thread does so, BTF itself remains silent. The receipt of a string of payments to a pay to address by a charity or non profit is in fact proof of their work. The payment of a single sum by one donating/joining is in fact proof of work.
One should of course use a different sending address each time, if desired. This is so elementary. Bg002h seems to advocate something different.
Very interesting indeed. Relations with the F would have to be trustless, given the circumstances.
I will give the benefit of the doubt and assume both P and P are Platinum.
