O hai friends!

I'm the executive director of the Bitcoin Foundation and I have no idea what's going on.

But didn't everybody resign when Brock Pierce slithered on? Or am I thinking of another Bitcoin Foundation??

The only one I'm aware of who resigned was Olivier, then then came back and was voted off by the board and has resigned again

Um:

At least 10 members of the nonprofit Bitcoin Foundation have resigned over last week's election of onetime Disney child star and current Bitcoin entrepreneur and financier Brock Pierce as a new director, officials at the group said.

Okay, thx for the link.  I didn't follow the story much at the time.  I thought the scandal it was primarily based on accusations which were not proven.

Hmm.

I guess I hound public figues when I'm bored. Who knew?

all images in the posts of this bot today is not working with me, someone fix it ?

bitcointalk.org image proxy: invalid image

Richie has been experimenting with the script - looks like he has inadvertently used an incorrectly nested \[img\]http://tag in the image url

Yes, I thought it was aproblem with the bitcointalk image proxy until you said the code wasn't right.  The images are being allowed through, it's a problem with the code. There don't appear to be any 3D market view images in chartbuddy's posts at the moment, only the images below and broken URLs. Coding a live system is difficult and chartbuddy is online 24/7.

Meh. I've previously been somewhat supportive of the Foundation, if for no other reason than as a vehicle to pay Gavin. I'll admit, I completely underestimated their sleazebaggery and incompetence.

What's wrong with changing your mind when given more information and time to contemplate it?

Sorry I was too terse. I was agreeing with you. I previously supported them, too. And for the same reason. But would you do it now is the question of the hour.

Alright then. Let's create our own Bitcoin Foundation, with Blackjack and Hookers!

Oh wait. That'd just be the old foundation again.

The Executive Director is doing a litte AMA right now. You can make suggestions.

I'd say it's going well so far.

Kind of unsettling seeing lambie ripping into a noob like that.

He does know where to find those buttons.

Curious, professor, to have your take on current efforts to de-crock the Satoshi codebase going on here -> http://thebitcoin.foundation

That's a weird site. 

I suppose that calling themselves "The Bitcoin Foundation", even though they are not connected to the better-known Shrem Karpelès & Friends Foundation, is their idea of a joke, or a statement of something.

I can't say much about the code.  I would have to read more, but I cannot find a  more specific statement of their goals. Their mailing list shows some continuing activity, but rather modest, it seems. 


What else can I say? I wish them well.  Cleaning code is always a Good Deed, like collecting trash from beaches or recovering decayed neighborhoods...

[JorgeStolfi]

By the way, there is no excuse for the cost to be quadratic.  That is one of the many crocks in the BitcoinCore implementation, that will take more crocks to work around.  Like the Segregated Witnesses proposal,  malleability and its partial patches, blockchain voting to increase the limit, etc..

Jorge, do you have a link to how this issue arises and, ideally, how it might be solved?

This is what I found; maybe you can follow those leads.

I was always skeptical. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt though (but not my money)
