This is crazy, I cant believe these guys are asking us for money. Are they nutttttsoo?

I'd rather give my coins to a scammer looking for a loan with no collateral, a new account with one post and 100% return on my money.

god dam.. someone please stab me in the eye with a pencil.

There should be a petition to remove the foundation all together actually they wouldn't listen to us would they........

They probably wouldn't but the beauty of bitcoin is that we could fork the chain, modify the code and start a new foundation leaving the old one in the dark. We would need help from the major pools but it would be simple to de-throne the foundation.

If I only knew how to code!

Then who would run the new foundation? it would probably turn into a power hungry fundation again.

I'd be down to be the spokes person for bitcoin, I can explain it easily in a few minutes and everyone I explain it to grasps it right away.

think it was suggested in another thread that people should be elected for the Bitcoin foundation instead of someone controlling it like they are now.

Awesome, we have a "chief Spokes Person" for this mutiny. That's two along with our "Chief Scientist" that can't code.

I think that is one of the reasons people hate the foundation now is because of the recent drama with mt gox.

There's that, but what do they actually even do? It also kinda goes against the decentralised nature on Bitcoin.

They don't do any thing I'm not supporting them in any way and any one who is supports them I don't trust in any sort of way now I have found out the bitcoinstore supports them I don't think I'll be using them any more.

Is there a list of all people involved?
Just seems like an empty prestige title

Scroll down for individuals.

Uggh, Mount Gox Gold Member. What a joke.

Do not touch or donate to the bitcoin foundation until MtGox BTC withdraws are resolved.  They represent the community, the community needs help.
Agreed

True that. Mark is stupid atm

bitcoinstore paid 100k for their 'advertising' on their page so the foundation has made 1 million dollars I would say to this date and they have just put that in their back pocket and walked off with it.

So this is just like a corrupt organisation where nobody voted for them?

Exactly what they are and they have some how got away with it.

Lol you must be an idiot to give 100.000$ to them! Funny the choice of words, "rights" "board meetings" "voting rights" "organization", wow seems important, when in real it is just a group of people. It is like if i create the gabi foundation and i ask you to give me 100.000$ so you can vote for... dunno... mmhh... well, the logo of the gabi foundation!!!! And of course i act like the gabi foundation is the most important thing in the bitcoin world, that we organize things, we do things etcetc

I guess there's nothing stopping anyone to create their own foundation, but people will assume or take their word on things so I'm sceptical of why they're even needed.
