Title: Bitcoin Foundation claims individual members voted unanimously for Brock Pierce.

Ten members have expressed a desire to resign their membership - out of a community of 1500+ .... this does not even amount to ONE PERCENT OF OUR MEMBERSHIP. The thread has been closed, it has not been removed, or censored.

This community HAS spoken, and their voice, overwhelmingly, is in favor of Brock Pierce. Those that continue to harp on the issue are doing more damage to the community and the future of Bitcoin than Brock Pierce has done, or will do.

The Bitcoin Foundation now appears to be claiming that they had an open election for Brock. The individual members had their chance to vote on the issue and only 10 voted to resign. The foundation claims this demonstrates an overwhelming support for Brock and the issue is now closed.

Why we're individual members only given the option to resign or shut up and stay as their ballot choices?
Have the 1500 individual members been represented fairly by the foundation.
Was the option to resign a valid measure of the intent of the individual members?

The BF's power comes largely through it's stewardship-by-proxy of the Bitcoin-Core code base. If people want to negate this, the options are clear: produce a new, better code base which becomes the de facto client.

Heck, fork the Bitcoin-Core code, rebrand it, call it Open-Bitcoin and start developing it.

Personally I don't know Pierce, wouldn't recognise him in the street, know next to nothing about him and don't care to learn. I just don't care who the BF hires.

Fuck me! Thanks to this post, I just realized that I've been glued to this computer for the past 18 hours for naught. Would have been less, but had to reconstruct all the data I had already penned and was about to post at the time, lost due to an unexpected reboot.

Enjoy the GIF while I finish up connecting the dots. BTW, have plenty of popcorn on-hand, and make sure there's no children present when it comes time to read my next epic thread.

I want TBF to be utterly irrelevant. I don't want to care who it hires.

Someone already did, except instead of forking they just rewrite it from scratch and ended up with a superior code base by doing so.

Do you further suggest they should be processed via a Veg-O-Matic? I'm just asking.

Can they then be served up at a Paul Snow BBQ? Again, I'm just asking.

bitcoin foundation ralated info
71 voters out of 1500 = only 4% of bitcoin members thought that the rigged list of candidates was worth voting for. meaning the vote was unfair.

pierce lawsuit info
Bryan Singer is not a stranger to brock or egan
Bryan Singer was at many parties of the DEN crew (brock and his fiddler friends)
minors WERE brought to the mansion by chad shakleys brother
minors WERE given wine (but the defense says it was 'just for dinner')

so do not believe anything about Singer and Pierce having no connections with each other, no opportunity to interact with drunken male teenagers, or sexual orientation that they do not like boys as those are lies. Singer and Brock DID have motive and opportunity.

oh, and $4.5 million was awarded to Egan and his co-plaintiffs which brock and his fiddler friends have not yet repaid.

at the time of judgement brock and his fiddler friends absconded and fled the country. (very guilty move)
