I have no intention of running for the Bitcoin Foundation Board. It would only reduce my impact and ability to speak.

I'm not in any way naive.  Using a logical fallacy such as that to discredit the other person's opinion without basis isn't really all that convincing.

Your position seems to be that anyone with any experience that's actually out in the world doing something will be corrupt.   That ignores an awful lot, I think, such as proper structure, a system of oversight and checks and balances, which obviously need to be worked on over there also, etc., etc., etc.

do you have a solution/suggestion?  it's fine if you don't and it's fine if your solution is to do nothing in the belief that the foundation, or anything like it is unnecessary, however, painting someone as naive because they don't share that opinion isn't actually a point of logic in any conversation, and some might say it shows quite a bit of naivete itself.  

so, if you've got a solution, please propose it and support it if you can.  If not, no biggie, I'm just looking to generate conversation on what's next, as there is a next.   There is always a next.  



Yawn... How fastidious you are.

 Sad

There is not any solution at this point rather than the Bitcoin foundation just cease to exist. Simple as that. The Bitcoin foundation is like a building erected on soft sand: no matter what material is used, it will always crumble apart.

If it were possible this would make me respect the man even more.

Wait, is the Bitcoin forum?  

Well, shit, and here I thought I was posting this discussion about bitcoin leadership on a cooking forum.
Bitcoin Foundation is a private club that has its own forum. That's the right place for them to discuss their internal club affairs.

well, it could be discussed there, and it can also be discussed here. 

you don't have to discuss it if you don't want to but it is a perfectly legitimate topic for discussion for this forum.

I was simply trying to be polite and give you another chance to act as if you weren't a conceited dickhead, which took a bit of doing, so my apologies on the fastidious nature of that post.  

Simply typing:  "go fuck yourself" seemed a bit premature.  at that point.

I respect Mark for stepping down on his own least he did that for the community other than robbing peoples money. We don't need any one to fill the gap.

Simply disband and distribute the remaining funds to Mt. Gox victims.

I've said it since day one: The bitcoin foundation (TBF) is a security risk to bitcoin. It achieves nothing that could not be achieved through other means.

TBF has severely damaged bitcoin by installing shady characters in its very core (the Mt. Gox guy is not the only one). It has proclaimed to speak for the whole bitcoin ecosystem while in fact has absolutely ZERO legitimacy to do so.

Bitcoin Foundation is a private club that has its own forum. That's the right place for them to discuss their internal club affairs.

Anyone can view it though. I don't know if there's any hidden boards or not though.
