What could be the reasons that Theymos and Cobra may disappear? I read in this thread and in the contract about the word "Disappear (if)"

Dying is a natural thing - what else?

Theymos has control over the server, Cobra has control over the domain if I'm not wrong.
Who else has access to this domain and server in absence of Theymos and Cobra? Shouldn't be there a plan B at least for the natural cause?

Embezzlement from the forum.

Ask Satoshi Nakamoto Wink

My point is: anything can happen, the word "disappear" covers all possibilities without the need to make a list.

There is a plan B for the server:

Maybe they elope.

I mean, not necessarily together or anything.

No seriously, a lot of early bitcoiners have gone. Maybe they chose to go or The Feds chose for them.

I can assure you the domain will not get auctioned.

If it were left to expire, I expect it would be auctioned by a third party (e.g DropCatch). I don't think what he's saying is out of the realms of possibility.

What happens to the Bitcointalk.org domain name if Cøbra disappears?

I believe that eventually the domain would be auctioned. And everything would continue in the same way, with what really matters: The public ledger.

I guess I am late to react but thank you theymos especially a lot of respects and thanks to OgNasty. We are stronger when we are together and this is another act that we are together building a Bitcoin community.

Good job.

If no highly reputable person is able to re-acquire it, I imagine the forum could continue functioning under a different domain name. It wouldn't be the first time, too.

Congrats OgNasty, SaltySpitoon, DarkStar_, and minerjones on your prestigious positions.

Individually, I think these are all good choices for the job. Combined, however, especially minerjones doesn't seem to trust most of the other group members:

Until less than 20 hours ago, minerjones distrusted theymos (the 20 hours is based on hourly scraping of dtview)
DarkStar_ is distrusted by minerjones.
OgNasty is distrusted by minerjones.

Is this intentional, to reduce the risk of collusion?

One feature of this forum is there's no order of succession should theymos disappear. The forum's server is controlled by theymos, the forum's funds are controlled by this multisig set up and forum's domain is controlled by me. Should theymos disappear, I really have no idea who to even consider as bitcointalk.org's legitimate leader (even more so if there's widespread disagreement on the topic).

If the treasurers and forum staff are interested, we can collectively sign a contract agreeing on some sort of process to agree on a person to lead the forum should theymos disappear, and pledge to obey and follow that persons instructions in order to avoid splits or multiple organizations/sites claiming to be the real BitcoinTalk. Is that a good idea?

It's best to leave it somewhat distributed. It wouldn't be ideal, but it also wouldn't be the end of the world if the forum split into several pieces. And since political processes are ripe for corruption, I prefer to leave these things a bit vague and let all of the involved individuals figure it out to the best of their abilities.

Should I disappear, Cyrus and/or others-I've-established will take over day-to-day operations and decision-making. You and the non-profit organization would act as checks upon them and each other to ensure that the forum doesn't just turn into some business, but would continue to have a "soul".

This does not even consider the fact that minerjones has advertised (I am not sure why this thread is in the trashcan, I don't think it should be there) for an obvious ponzi

OG has escrowed for an obvious ponzi, what is your point?

EDIT: QS, you should really stop applying double standards when it comes to your unfounded accusations.

I would like to add I think that OG has done a good job as a forum escrow and I believe that he will continue to do so.

Congrats OgNasty, SaltySpitoon, DarkStar_, and minerjones on your prestigious positions. And good job theymos for your choices! They have all been on my inclusions list..
DarkStar_ is going places..

Especially good job to OgNasty for returning the funds!

Thanks. Returning the funds was always the plan. I’m proud to be a treasurer for bitcointalk and congrats to the others chosen for this honor.

On a serious note, I would be surprised if Theymos has never anticipated something like this. The later the better but I learned my lesson and can say the life can dramatically change with a few minutes

I have to commend OgNasty for keeping the BTC safe all these years and proving himself extremely trustworthy.

Regarding this part of the contract:

Quote

[...] signer will in a very public fashion work with the other multisig signers, bitcointalk.org staff, and notable bitcointalk.org users to see to the creation of a US non-profit organization with a mission similar to "In order to increase freedom in the world: Operate bitcointalk.org and/or sites similar to bitcointalk.org, work toward the long-term success of Bitcoin, and work toward more widespread decentralization and applied cryptography."

Is this to be interpreted as a directive the bitcointalk.org domain be given to this organization?

The forum's server is controlled by theymos, the forum's funds are controlled by this multisig set up and forum's domain is controlled by me.

Minerjones has a history of being involved in transactions in which money is missing. The fact that he has successfully completed other transactions does not change this fact. Nor does the fact that coercion was done for lists to be setup in specific ways such that his rating shows as being very high.

This does not even consider the fact that minerjones has advertised (I am not sure why this thread is in the trashcan, I don't think it should be there) for an obvious ponzi

There’s always the potential for anybody theymos chooses to run off with the money. It’s impossible to know people’s circumstances. It doesn’t matter if they bought in 2009-2011 & have millions & millions of USD through bitcoin. A divorce or bad business decisions could lead them to put their hands in the cookie jar, so to speak.

We just have to hope that people police themselves & seemingly very trustworthy people continue to be trustworthy.

I guess I say thank you on behalf of the community to all those who have so far done a great job looking after forum funds & hope that whoever is entrusted in the future does just as good a job as those so far have.
