Bitcoin Forum

Welcome and congratulations to Jim Harper and Olivier Janssens! I think both are fine additions as individual members. I also really liked the new election system. It was very transparent and fair. I think Brian Gross gets a lot of credit for that. And Michale Toomim for his awesome consider.it software.

Thanks also to the other candidates. It was a harder decision this time because of the glut of qualified candidates. Not a bad problem to have!   

I have my doubts as usual. Anyhow, congratulations to both of you.

What is the status of Cody Wilson ? I think, he ran for the election ?

He was eliminated in the first round. He did get a respectable 21% approval. Here is a link to the first round results:

And here is a link to the consider.it tool that was used to compare candidates and gauge voter sentiment: https://bitcoin.consider.it/

Congratulations for both of you guys ;D

Congrats to the new members of TBF!

Yeah It doesnt seem to be for anything special

They do several things such as pay the people who develop bitcoin core, help maintain factual resources such as: https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-documentation There are also commities working on projects related to education, legal advocacy, etc... You can see more about that here: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/index.php?

Yeah , I heard that the developpers of the Bitcoin COre gets like 100k $ a year , is that true ? and all those payments are from the Donations of the members ?? sounds interessting .

Hmm. I'm not sure what the developers are paid?  That is a lot of money, however Gavin is a MIT computer scientist.  I'll try to find out, and I know they are paid in Bitcoin.

Congratulations to the new members

I believe Gavin was paid $160K under the auspices that he needed the money in spite of giving an interview that his stash of bitcoins could afford him and his wife to retire.

Congrats indeed to the new foundation members. May they drive strategy more cohesively and effectively than has recently been the case....

I want to congratulate the winners and hope that they are the right persons to push the BTC foundation's agenda into the major fold. I think we all should be thoroughly enthused for this outcome.

I personally would not welcome anyone into the bitcoin foundation. I would also say it is not exactly something to 'congratulate' someone about in getting elected to the board of TBF

congratulations to the winners.
