I am against change without clear and comprehensive oversight.
Isn't that what the Foundation is there to provide?

The fact is I want Satoshi back. He made this thing and I want him to represent it.
But if he never comes back, or is dead already, bitcoin has done well on its own. The power
is in the idea, which has taken off.
Bitcoin is following the "rules":

Some of you are sincere morons.
Constructive! Does it include yourself? Or do you consider yourself to be superior over others?

You're obsessed with the feeling of superiority over others by knowing something they don't or being able to figure something out that they couldn't.
Ah, glad you know the psychological phenomenon you are suffering from

For the record, we need a limited amount of centralization to get bitcoin running and popularize it.
For the record, no we don't.

Some of you are sincere morons. So not only is every government everywhere and everyone in power out to get everyone else but the developers of bitcoin are out to get you too. I bet big media is out to get you too (well okay, it is, lol). Who isn't out to get you or an evil conspiracy leader?
For all the dumbass conspiracy nuts, here, let me explain you to you. You're obsessed with the feeling of superiority over others by knowing something they don't or being able to figure something out that they couldn't. Because of that, you see conspiracies everywhere and no matter what, the majority is ALWAYS wrong and you're ALWAYS right because that makes you feel special. Take a pill and get off the forums, you fucktard wastes of space.
For the record, we need a limited amount of centralization to get bitcoin running and popularize it. Without that it'd be chaos. As soon as the system is widespread enough to not benefit from basically 1 giant controlling party, it will grow way out of their control regardless. So no worries.

Well if the are going to leave Satoshi the founding seat on The Foundation board so could always just show up long enough to dissolve TBF out of existence and then disappear again .... just for laughs.
Hey I just noticed TBF is only a T away from being TBTF (too big too fail)

In some ways, I can understand and agree what the OP is saying. But the bottom line is Satoshi took off and he left his project to the group. If he truly wanted his vision reached then his ass should have stuck around. As much as I would like to see the original "founder" here to keep us on track with his vision, we are stuck with Gavins vision. Hopefully it remains healthy for us all!

I think a potential danger is from politics, any kind of organization is facing this problem after the technology has reached certain level of complexity. Keep the client/protocol simple and stable is very important

If moralfags like Luke-Jr wouldnt kill it with 51% attacks an anarcoin would be good.

The amount of tinfoilhat-wearers in this forum is too damn high.
The amount of asslickers as well.
Just wanted to say the same.
It is plain dumb to ignore the abusive potential that comes from a minority-controlled central entity that proclaims to push Bitcoin forward by openly admitting that Bitcoin is safer when it adheres to the principles of governmental regulation. Even if we assume that the members of The Bitcoin Foundation-club do not originally intent such, they serve as a perfect gateway for authoritarian control of the Bitcoin project.
In addition I have a bad feeling about the way they present themselves at their club - like heros from the corporate headquarter. I know a lot of successful projects where the founders do not engage in such a personality cult.

It would not take much to turn bitcoin into the greatest honey-pot ever devised ... particularly if the eaves-dropping party had db's of large portions of users other Internet traffic to correlated with bitcoin traffic.
The resistance to strong anonymity being developed at the protocol level has always bothered me, saying that, it is a tough problem though.

There arent many core bitcoin devs who are anarchists

Ok, but how should he profit? What are you afraid of?
Unfixed exploits?
I'm affraid that he will put a code that let CIA to track every satoshi sent thru Bitcoin network. I bet in a few months "TBF" will announce that they issue trust certificates for merchants using Bitcoin or something similar.Unfixed exploits?
Every transaction is stored in the blockchain. Once CIA manage to connect ur address with ur real identity - u'll be on their hook.
Mt Gox already does this.
Aye. That's why I trade using 10 mtgox accounts, so it looks like 10 different ppl operate with small amounts.
Thats why I have 0 Mt Gox accounts

Most of bitcoiners don't audit changes in the most popular client. Even if someone finds a backdoor and announces here, most of bitcoiners won't pay attention, they'll be listening to "The Bitcoin Foundation". That's why involvement of Gavin into "TBF" is very dangerous.
Why should ne harm the bitcoin project? Why should the bitcoin foundation be somehow corrupted? Sorry but I don't get it.He is a human.
