Bitcoin Forum

Dear Luke jr,
now that you are a candidate for the board of bitcoin foundation,
may I kindly ask you to release the public addresses of your bitcoind workers
for "eligius" pool over the time in operation, please.

This will definitely grow the trust people lay in your hands,
as a strong foundation board is in the interest of us all.
This transparency-effort might help people understand why the "mean-deviation"
in pool-rewards keeps growing so that everyone lacks approx. 20% in over a year.
Your addresses should give the certainty that all comes down to bad luck.
A capable software engineer you are indeed and i appreciate your willingness to let people participate in your parallely mined namecoins.

Please don't push for thread removal, as the doubt I expressed could spoil your footsteps if left unrefuted. Therefore, I beg your answer!

Sorry for my bad grammar upfront, in case my point wasn't clear, hopefully someone has a helping hand to address the issue correctly and in the right place.

Amen

Is there real data that shows that there might be something suspect in the coin's mining algorithm?

please explain, what is inadequate in my request, to confute allegations of betrayal that nag on people like me.

His "Capped PPS with Recent Backpay" has an unpaid-backlog that systematically grows.

Could you please point me to the discussion you discovered?

Does the Bitcoin Foundation have its own discussion board?

yes

Ahh. It is strange that their members are over here talking about their organization's matters.

Why would that be strange?   This is the online epicenter of Bitcoin discussion at the moment.  Seems quite normal to me.

The Bitcoin Foundation is a private club. Why not discuss private club business at the club's forum instead of in an unrelated forum?

Unless, of course, the people discussing it here are not able to discuss it there because they are not members...then, why does it matter to you what they do in their private club?

omg DRAHMS!

I can see legitimate arguments for controlling random commentary on a foundation specific forum.  OTOH, the principles of transparency apply as much for the BFC as they do for government.  Even more in fact.

Does the BFC provide adequate (meaning near 100%) transparency?  I don't know but find it doubtful.  I gave up hope on them a while ago and have not paid much attention since.  The best I hope for at this point is that their actions create an opportunity for me to capitalize on Bitcoin in a monetary sense.  I probably should pay more attention to their goings-on just to look for flags which would make this outcome more likely via timings of certain actions but have been busy with other things of interest.
