Don't directors usually elect the executive director? And the directors are elected by the membership?

Code:
(b) Vacancies of a Founding Director resulting from resignation of the director or removal of the director shall be filled by election of a majority of the Founding Members.

This is bitcoin foundation, they should be open about it, and allow members to vote on it. But they are flexing their egos and power trips to show everyone that they ultimately control the foundation.



If we want to get legal about it (while the BOD page is not up to date),

Peter Vessenes would have to resign or be removed from the board entirely to trigger an election. In his blog, he doesn't appear to have said so: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/?p=214

If PV's still a member of the board of directors, then he did not leave a vacancy on the board. There was simply a title shift, him to non-exec board of directors member, Matonis to exec director. Additionally, the exec director position is typically paid in any organization; as PV referred to it as "this hire", I believe this is the case. The membership at large does not typically control hiring, only via ousting board members who make the hiring decisions.

Yeah, how dare pro-liberty people believe all government statistics and peer-reviewed, non-debunked research that shows innocents with guns are bad for criminals, and "gun control" only enables the innocents it disarms to be murdered, raped, and maimed with impunity, if we're not thrown in prison first, for the "crime" of self-defense. We're just a bunch of fucking morons for believing that defending innocent life is more important than enabling criminals who write, and support "gun control" laws 100%.

And how dare we believe the endless stream of reports of gun "thefts" and gun trafficking from and by THE GOVERNMENT, which are used to justify further disarmament of ONLY innocents via "gun control".

You USA people are scary to criminals when it comes to your human right to bear arms. UK has the best gun laws to enable criminals' utopia- ban'em.

Fixed to describe reality.

Doesn't MultiBit still store private keys unencrypted by default, and require major gymnastics every session to encrypt then delete unencrypted version?

"all private keys are kept encrypted on your local machine (or on a USB stick)"

Ah, just downloaded and poked the .wallet files in ~User\Library\Application Support\Multibit with the TextEdit stick. They aren't in clear text anymore. Cool.

2. 0% armed?  So an armed deputy at Columbine doesn't count?

Deputy Neil Gardner WAS NOT at Columbine High School, he was AT Clement Park. Had he been on the Columbine High School campus, Harris and Klebold would have faced near-immediate resistance. When seconds count, the police are minutes away. Writ large, in the case of every massacre with more than 3 victims (IIRC the peer-reviewed/non-debunked research correctly, since off-duty police officers and armed civilians have stopped them, when already present at the scene).

Revisionist history to support "gun control" needs to STOP. NOW.

.....the gun-loving fucktards that defend that more guns = less deaths are not helping at all.
Are you having fun making this stuff up?  Because the statistics do not seem to agree with you.

Yep. Was going to reply, but once someone rejects the pro-criminal/tyrannical government's own statistics (that it could just manipulate in favor of banning all self-defense entirely, as it is doing incrementally with each "gun control" law, but cannot without being called on the carpet by good people), there's no real point in replying. /ignore

Enjoy your criminals' utopia, Europe.

Even if there were no guns in a country except in the hands of non- criminal/evil/tyrannical/civil rights-violating law enforcement officers (impossible), then murders using all other weapons (including fists and feet) increase. There will always be criminal violence where there is no ultimate equalizer. Law enforcement cannot protect each individual at all times.

"Assault weapon" can be defined as a pinfire revolver, or fists and feet.

If a weapon can be used to defend innocent life without "collateral damage" (it can only strike the evildoer in its trajectory), then it must not be infringed, as it is needed to exercise the fundamental human right of self-defense.

"In addition, a person is an exchanger and a money transmitter if the person accepts such de-centralized convertible virtual currency from one person and transmits it to another person as part of the acceptance and transfer of currency, funds, or other value that substitutes for currency."
http://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/guidance/html/FIN-2013-G001.html

I can only see how that can be applied to escrows and exchanges, but not to (I)ndividuals who simply buy BTC from one person (A) one day, sell it to another person (Z) another day, with no express or implied contract between the two people who sold and bought the BTC, (A) and (Z), and the (I)ndividual. This is the "as part of the acceptance and transfer of..." clause. There is a contract with (e)scrows and (e)xchanges, that they will execute trades between two (sometimes anonymous to each other) people with mutually-agreed-upon terms.

IAFCU's kinda weird, on https://iafcu.org/special-posts/wire-money-to-your-account/ they refer to "Corporate One Federal Credit Union – Columbus, OH." being their "corporate credit union". So IAFCU is a credit union inside a credit union?

tl;dr

Did http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=legitnick1 (legitnick before he lost his original key) sell his forum account, or is it actually him scamming on his own account? I did a FTF cash trade with him, http://www.linkedin.com/pub/nick-legotte/64/507/92
