I kind of liked the way BitFury and F2Pool vetoed the BIP101 proposal backed by some (largely backed by incumbent financial insitutions Goldman Sachs, Accel & various others) Bitcoin companies in the industry.

They really could do with following through on their hint at re-entering the market for commercially available miners, Spondoolies and others really disappointed in a variety of ways. And even BitFury's image needs rehabilitating to a degree. I think only Bitmain and (the former) Avalon companies are still shipping commercially.
