sorry, this does crop up is another thread , but not one specifically related to the petition. So people will certainly miss it.

If you have a sec, pop over and sign it.

Not sure how you will get Mark kicked off the bitcoinfoundation.org site.
Mark owns the domain name.

Mark can own the domain all he wants, that doesn't mean he owns the Foundation (and at this point it looks like that domain name is all he's going to have left in the BTC world). He's just a board member and all board members can be voted off by the community and the other members who represent the community.

So are you saying that the Bitcoin foundation is going to drop their current name and vote on a new one?
Right now, the Bitcoin foundation has the "appearance" of being an agent for Tibanne ltd (Mark Karpeles).

That might be why, California, where I live, sent a cease and desist order to your foundation at one time.

I would think that if the Bitcoin Foundation is independent of Mark( Tibanne, Mtgox), then it might be a positive step to
get a domain name that is not controlled by a member, but by the group as a whole.



Looks like they took my advice. Mark has given up ownership of the bitcoinfoundation.org domain name as of Feb 23. 2014.

do you think this is enough for him? should he pay much more than this? btw, did he really give up all the connections with Bitcoin Foundation or just move back into background like his new virtual office?

No. Not enough. Just observing them covering their tracks and passing on the info. I think the connections are still there too. Mark has just gone virtual. He is everywhere, but nowhere.
