This is not a vote. I will unlock this when it is no longer being brigaded.

Random shills and people creating accounts just to vote, nice manipulation attempt.

This is most likely what happens. People with a nice account creation scrypt and vpn access can manipulate this very easily.

And we all know how many people are involved in bitcoin are capable of making something like that.

Why do they want to remove the Coinbase site from bitcoin.org?

It was already removed. You only get what you deserve.

Those random ACKs have 0 meaning yet people here are susceptible to manipulation.

Why do they want to remove the Coinbase site from bitcoin.org?

They already removed it. They did so because they gave a try to BitcoinXT, and bitcoin.org admins are anti-BitcoinXT.

I think its silly to remove it, but what does it matter? I use it now, i will still use it tomorrow. Beside being less publicity for Coinbase, i don't see what its going to achieve?

ACK returning Coinbase for the moment. (Also agree with removing webwallets in general, though.)

When/if Coinbase is removed, it should be for a legitimate reason and fairly applied to other services, not because they simply are doing experimentation that does not affect their public production services. The latter should be encouraged.

Also ACKs from

Think of them what you will, but they are not randomly created accounts.

I never stated that everyone that voted was a shill/randomly generated account. I have noticed a few votes (e.g. Gavin).

people will also shout "shills" when people have a different opinion about this topic - sad.

You are also working for them, so I'm not surprised. I'm right in this case and you have nothing to back up words; easy example of a non contributor voting.

Exactly this. I will also continue to use Coinbase no matter what. I don't care if it is being re-added to bitcoin.org or not.

What was the reason of the removal ?

[Lauda]

What was the reason of the removal ?

Coinbase is now running Bitcoin XT in their production servers. XT is an contentious hard fork attempt that will create a new altcoin and split the community and blockchain should it ever go into effect. If this ever happens, Coinbase's customers may find that they no longer own any actual Bitcoin.

I've already posted a link; you should read the thread before posting next time. Bitcoin.org is privately run and they have every right to remove/add as they (people who run it) want.

Inclined to agree with this.  New users should be taught that having Bitcoin means you are responsible for holding your own private keys.  So in a sense, using any webwallet is less like using Bitcoin than an alternative client where you still hold your own keys.  Some people may not agree with alternative clients proposing changes to the protocol, but that's still no excuse for failing to maintain impartiality.  If the other webwallets stay, Coinbase should stay.  No one has to right to say what clients Coinbase can or can't use, so excluding them because they are using other clients is just petty and a sign of insecurity.  Attempting to hide the existence of things you disagree with will only continue to increase the general suspicion and mistrust that seems to be pervading this issue.  It still baffles me as to why some decide to be involved in an open source project when they stoop to the level of not allowing other people to choose in an open and unbiased manner.  I've argued before that this only damages you own cause and I stand by that.
