Do you want Mike Hearn removed as Chair of the Bitcoin Foundation's Law & Policy commitee?

You want Mike Hearn replaced? Join the Foundation and vote (yes, I'm well aware of the OPs membership).
Doing a Gallup poll witch hunt at bitcointalk will not get you anywhere.

Hatred (see below) won't get you anywhere either.
Now stop the bitching, get yourselves organized and do better if you think you can.

"The Foundation" just wants to collect their winnings. I despise these people.

Fascists shouldn't be in charge of making Bitcoin policy decisions.

So releasing information on other people is FREEDOM but doing so on yourself is TYRANNY? Sounds more like HYPOCRISY. Roll Eyes

You can keep living in this little bubble of ignorance, blindly blaming the US as the regulatory devil, but this has nothing to do with the US. Big banks are calling the shots and they operate with no borders. They will impose regulations in any country at any time they choose. So, either deal with big banks head on or accept playing by their rules. Either way, it's actually kind of sad watching the Bitcoin community destroy itself from the inside out. All these smart people and these are the best uses you can come up with, to leverage a tech like Bitcoin and return monetary power back to the people? We're doomed.

NEIN, ICH BIN DER BITCOIN!

I'm undecided, cause i haven't enough Information about that. But if he and the foundation got the plan to do something like that. Then i'll do everything to not let it happen! If they get thrue with that, bitcoin is dead! And i'm out. The US causes war all around the planet, the spy everybody on that planet cause of terrorism. The Big brother should not get control over bitcoin.... No Way!

Decentralize, Decentralize, Decentralize. Did I say "Decentralize"?

THAT is the power of bitcoin.

If we are going to have other people making decisions on how we can and cannot spend, we may just as well go back to US Paper Dollars and hope for the best.

Guys calm down!

He just called for a discussion and this is his job as chairmen of the law section.

Why should he get removed for starting a due discussion?

He should know better than to propose creating a blacklisting system that is such an obvious target for government overreach, the exact same government that goes and taps Google's private datacenter links.

Well , people will suddenly realize that their votes don't count , just the vote of the foundation members.
Something like... the government?

Then , people we'll say , fuck bitcoin and it's regulation , I'm building and using bitcoin 2.0
Just like they did with fuck fiat , let's build and use bitcoin.

And history repeats itself.
And Utopia is one step farther away Cheesy

Hey, nice site! Thank heaven for Google Translate

I'm really glad to see your work.

As you might be able to guess, I'm holding out a lot of hope that influences from the 'non-aligned' jurisdictions conspire to keep Bitcoin 'free'. I cannot bring myself to trust Bitcoin's future to the tender mercies of the Chinese central government, but a pissing match between them and the U.S. (+ our minions in Europe) could really serve the interests of us lowly users/investors/speculators well.

edit: Jeez...I could have sent a tip I guess. Done.

Majority has spoken! 51% united

Ultimately people vote with the codebase they choose to run. At this point I'll be very surprised if a code fork and development team fracture does not happen.

The big questions in my mind are:

- will the transaction rate be increased enough to block large classes of users from running full nodes in time?

- what will be the disposition of the Chinese would-be peers?

If I were doing strategy for the Foundation, I'd be actively courting the large players in the Chinese sphere and possibly the government as well. I'm not, and I'm very hopeful that the Foundation fails. Thus, I hope that the Chinese operators and users think for themselves and don't necessarily let those who wish to centralized the solution dominate the direction.

I can only add that Mike Hearn has provided many a valuable contribution to the Bitcoin ecosystem as a whole, taht we are all benefiting from one way or another.

But I think we are all agreed that his tendency to conform to the broken central authority model is not one of them.

Cue Mike saying... "but government? but democracy? but rule of law?" What government? What democracy? What rule of law? All administered by the state he loves so much, and all for the benefit of their corporate friends interests (corporate interest that he no doubt loves too, and clearly benefits from with his corporate career, living in his libertarian, directly democratic Switzerland residence).

I really think the most dangerous threat to bitcoin is its "Foundation", not one of his members. The bitcoin governance system is severely broken. Bitcoin Foundation should be:

- Run by democratic principles (members should be elected in a democratic process)
- Transparent (interacting and asking the community for feedback whenever big decisions are to be made)
- Global (not based in a single country and with representatives from all the nations)

W3C and IETF are nice examples of GOOD governance.
