Well I ignored them anyway but I didn't realise that they had actually made it easier for me to.

Have you even read about the foundation lately?!? Roll Eyes Hope this was an ironic post.

No. I haven't read anything about the foundation for a long time, maybe a year. I don't spend much time following that kind of things. Please, tell me more about it. Did I miss something?

That's more comprehensible. The Foundation has been involved in scandal after scandal for the last few months and has been a disservice for Bitcoin. They paid millionaire salaries to themselves and end up "bankrupt" and they are basically dismembered. They do not serve any purpose to Bitcoin, they only serve themselves. They're the last ones that can help with doubts about block size. For all purposes they do not exist anymore.

Wait.... You mean they're finally bankrupt now and we don't have to deal with the arrongace of their self-appointed leadership? Yey!

I mean that we are finally aware of what really happened on the Bitcoin Foundation and have now proof to call them a failure. And yes, we have all the right to ignore them, as they are certainly a toxic asset to Bitcoin.

Ideally the Dalai Lama should be given the choice, but I'm not so sure he'll be able to leave some anti China bias behind. Let's drop him a line anyway.

Easy answer for Op's question would be: The Bitcoin Foundation Is Too Scandalous.

Founded in 2011, the Bitcoin Foundation's initial goal was to provide advocacy to the cryptocurrency, and that's something what is needed within the industry even today.
The Bitcoin Foundation had the potential to be a good force for political  and economic advocacy, but they failed miserably.
Now their name is tarnished to the point that everything related to Bitcoin Foundation is considered 'bad'. Please don't mention BF anymore.

Exactly this. I don't even know what purpose they serve anymore. They have lost all the trust that they ever had. I don't see what they can do in the future to regain any of the trust back. In my humble opinion, it would be the best to disassemble foundation completely. If this cannot be done or it won't be done, then we should just forget that they ever existed.

+1 to miners doing the work themselves and forking with 99% of the hash power. Let's get that done.

Well, could be the opportunity to save it from the brink. Anyway, I'm just looking for solutions. The blocksize problem has to go and I certainly like the idea of a consensus, but I don't see one emerging soon.

I firmly disagree of getting the Bitcoin Foundation up after what has happened. They were as corrupt as some governments out there. But I'll stop here as the Foundation isn't the scope of this thread.

I'm pretty certain that consensus will be reached. At the very worse it will be reached when everyone has the rope on their necks and time is running out for 1MB blocks Smiley

its about to be resolved sooner or later miners will realize they all want to have 8MB blocks but not XT.

Core devs will refuse to implement this for them

Miners will do the work themselves and fork with 99.9% hashing power

The whole community has seen it: BTC has a problem. The world's markets are in turmoil and BTC, which should be some kind of a safe heaven to store your cash, pretty much like gold once was, isn't performing as hoped. Far from it actually, it's sinking because of the blocksize debate and the recent fork.

A solution would be a moral authority to take the difficult technical decisions, and that was supposed to be the role of the BTC foundation a while ago. Today unfortunately, many folks don't even know the existence of the foundation. Well, it still exists, right?

I hope the BTC foundation could help the community to put the blocksize debate behind us.
