For those who don't know.. mah87 has been one of the more consistent Ripple shills.
For those who don't know... there are more Ripple shills than anybody is able to keep track of. Yay more scamcoins. |

WRONGO: Bitcoin will never let Winklevoss die

probably a character or two missing or added
Or he just made it up? No srsly, I'm really wondering what "sha256" program he's using. Neither GNU coreutils (the sha256sum on every Linux box, every distro) nor the perl shasum script have a "-s" command line option. |

here you go
# sha256 -s "a publicly traded bitcoin trust (similar to the SPDRs GLD Trust) Sat Mar 23 07:28:57 GMT 2013"
SHA256 ("a publicly traded bitcoin trust (similar to the SPDRs GLD Trust) Sat Mar 23 07:28:57 GMT 2013") = ee404466e9a7cd997aa09f64529dc3bef3e7314357f0e66795cf601beaa7b34e
Er, GNU coreutils sha256sum sez:
$ echo "a publicly traded bitcoin trust (similar to the SPDRs GLD Trust) Sat Mar 23 07:28:57 GMT 2013" | sha256sum

BFL didn’t make that target, and as such, it said it donated 1,000 BTC to the Bitcoin Development Fund (BDF). However, the BDF appears to have been created in May 2013 and provides no documentation that it is, in fact, a bona fide charity or nonprofit organization. Its website lists no actual people, street addresses, or phone numbers.
In fact, it turns out that BDF was actually started by Butterfly Labs' own employees—a fact disclosed nowhere on the BDF site. When Ars reached out to the only e-mail address listed on the site, the response that came back was from Jeff Ownby, the BFL vice president.
Holy fraud, batman. |

Having re-read Animal Farm, it occurred to me that it's actually an allegory about Bitcoin! Help me complete the correspondence table:
Snowball = Satoshi
Napoleon = Gavin
The Windmill = Bitcoin-Qt source code
Attack dogs = THE bitcoin Foundation's lobbyists and lawyers.
Farmer Jones = Ben Bernanke
Squealer = Erik Voorhees
Old Major = Diffie + Merkle
Boxer = all code contributors who aren't "CORE"
Benjamin =
Crow = Luke Dashjr
The cat = Zhoutong
The Sheep = bitcointalk.org
Molly = Bruce Wagner?
The hens = miners?
Muriel =
Unallocated: FINCEN, MtGox/Karpeles, Bill Cosby, Butterfly Labs. |

Now the ass licked back.
This mental image will haunt me almost as much as this one. |

I am more and more persuaded in fact that Gavin is part of the problem, and that paying him doesn't help. Gavin's seat ought to be occupied by the Linus of Bitcoin... a Brash Dickhead For Life, if you will.
Second this. Can you imagine Gavin having the balls to say the sort of stuff Linus says* that needs to be said? And no, burning a $1 bill doesn't count. No, he's too busy working in secret, off the bitcoin-dev mailing list on some sideband "payment protocol" to bootstrap the de-anonymization of bitcoin via the X.509 SSL infrastructure. That and plastering "bitcoin CORE CORE SUPER-CENTRAL INNER-CORE dev" on everything he touches. I want Satoshi back. (*) you know you can trust people who've made it through their 20's and still talk like this when it matters |

Is Peter Vessenes still the head of TBF?
He's the Executive Director, Chairman of the Board, and Treasurer. He's also about to be taking a shower while this large fellow with an attitude you couldn't knock down with a hammer keeps whispering in his ear: Oh nancy, Oh nancy. |

I would suggest that whoever is actively involved in the Bitcoin Foundation move out of the US.
Nah, they'll just drone 'em. |

Feds may shutdown them. I see no impact on bitcoin network at all.
I see a positive impact as a result of noobs no longer thinking bitcoins are issued by THE bitcoin foundation. |

This simply shows a misunderstanding of what bitcoin is.
tl;dr: California thinks Bitcoin Foundation "runs bitcoin."
This simply shows a misunderstanding of how power works. tl;dr: Jeff fails to understand that "running bitcoin" is irrelevant to what's about to happen. |

OH THANK YOU LORD, my prayers have been answered.
These stupid fucks got exactly what they deserved for anointing themselves The Official Bitcoin Politburo.
Congratulations, fuckwads. You proclaimed to the world that you were in charge of bitcoin and deserved all the credit for anything good that became of it. Instead you get only the blame.
