Title: Who can develop for BitCoin
Post by: FuckIdolPlus on March 20, 2015, 05:06:53 PM
I was just wondering that who is "incharge" for further development for the BitCoin 'protocol'.

EDIT: Except for the people here https://bitcoin.org/en/development Also on what basis were these people selected by Satoshi?

Here's the list of core developers

https://bitcoin.org/en/development

I'm assuming that this answers your question. Besides that, the source is available for anyone through github.

Anyone "can" develop for bitcoin, but whether their commits will be accepted by the core devs is a different story.

Yes, that's pretty much what free open-source software means, everyone can be a developer.

I don't know if the development process for the protocol is already defined, or if they are still debating the best strategy, but besides that, pretty much everyone, with the right skill set, can contribute.
