If the Foundation is seeking registration as some form of non-profit, then it's likely that voting procedures are outlined by law and that they can't just make them up themselves (here, votes by the membership of non-profits must be overseen by officers of the Electoral Commission who check that members were financial, that the required quorum was met, and that the required formal procedures such as notice, proposers and seconders etc were followed).
Why they chose Washington DC as the location, the most oppressive, regulated shithole in the world, is beyond me. Oh wait, it isn't because I am sure the original intentions were to get Bitcoin regulated. If you are saying that Washington DC is regulated, then you have no fucking idea what the word "regulated" means. Come to the UE. We have laws here that specify the exact curvature a banana must have to be allowed on the market. They also tell us how much milk, cheese and sugar we can produce. That is **regulated**. überwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz note that this law doesnt deal with beef - or the labeling of beef. or the supervision of the labeling of beef. it really does deal with the proper delegation of the supervision of the labeling of beef. because if you dont have that.... its anarchy!!  |

Also, why the hell do you keep changing your avatar randomly ? A psychiatrist would probably suspect that you have some kind of mental disorder as you are so unstable that you cannot decide what avatar will reflect you best. |

So it's been over 30 days, and the Bitcoin Foundation has already crashed the price of bitcoin by nearly 3 dollars. This is the result of government intervention on the free market. Expect the price to keep going down if these tyrannical power mongers continue to ride roughshod over everyone in the bitcoin ecosystem.
That's what they're doing right? To be honest, I haven't noticed anything that they've actually done. But I do certainly imagine it to be totally evil and stuff, and that's what counts.

It's vital for the forum to be closed for non-members and search engines etc. There is now a policy in place which prevents using the forum with a nickname or a pseudonym or whatever. It's Real Name Only. To make that policy work it has to be closed.
In other words the forum is much more strict, matter-of-fact, no-nonsense and "official" compared to this forum which is basically crazy. It's good this way. The craziness can stay here and the foundation business can stay over there.

Being read-only for non-members would be good for openness and transparency. I can clearly see the benefit of non-members not being able to post to cut out a lot of the rubbish you see on this forum for example but I don't see any benefit to denying non-members read access. |

So true. It's very good this way ! But why not let non-members read about the useful work the foundation is doing rather than restricting read access and adding fuel to the fire about non-transparency, an insider cabal etc. |

The foundation members feel more comfortable talking amongst themselves with their real name when they know only other members can read the posts. I don't personally care either way but I don't see a big problem with the way it is now. Anything that really needs to be public, will be public. Like the first Foundation blog from Gavin. https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/?p=16 |

Because Foundation members posting on the forum may not want the entire world to know that they are Foundation members with a quick Google search-- there is a privacy issue. Somebody could sign up as a member and then try to screen-scrape and republish everything somewhere, so members should assume that whatever they say will eventually be public. And the membership might still decide that read-only for non-members is the right thing to do-- I agree that it could be a good way to attract new members, if the quality of conversation is high. In related news: Foundation board members will be blogging regularly at https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/(RSS feed: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/?feed=rss ) |
How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?
