Your membership funds our efforts to standardize, protect and promote Bitcoin.

Industry members must join by April 15, 2014 to be eligible to vote on the two industry board seats up for election in April 2014. Any industry member with a valid industry membership may nominate an individual to run in the election up to the April 7, 2014 nomination deadline. Because both board seats are industry board seats, only industry members are eligible to nominate individuals for and vote in the April 2014 election.

We offer two membership options for individuals, annual and lifetime, as well as three membership tiers for industry: silver, gold, and platinum. All memberships include one vote in their membership class and access to our member forums where you’ll be able to provide input on foundation initiatives, join a committee, or volunteer. Industry memberships include additional benefits outlined here.

We only accept Bitcoin as payment for members dues. Our membership pricing is pegged directly to the market value of Bitcoin, updated on a daily basis. For current membership pricing options, please create an account.

To promote transparency and enforce fair voting procedures, we require a real name and address for all members. Please note that member dues paid to records that do not include a real name and mailable address will not be refunded.

If you would prefer to support the Bitcoin Foundation without joining as a member, you can do so by donating to the address listed on our donate page, but note that donors do not receive member voting rights or other benefits.

Now that I, too, am a Platinum Member of The Bitcoin Foundation, I'm really going to start stirring up some shit.

Quick aside: davout, I'm still waiting for you to clarify my bitcoin address so that can return my stolen 1,132 BTC currently residing in one of your bitcoin wallets.

I think "first right of refusal" just means they ask you if you want to sponsor a particular event over a competing barn wood recycling service.

I'll simply ignore, participate in, or abide by that clause until my lawyer says it's okay.

Fucking awesome man, well done. I'm a lifetime (non-industry) member but prefer to remain anonymous.

GO GET 'EM!

Whatever happens make sure Andreas doesn't ever leave, he's the heart of the foundation imo.

[bbit]

you are the man! THE MAN!! 

[Newmine]

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

If you really spent $100k to join the foundation to continue your attack, then you are fucking crazy stupid.

Good luck. You need it pissing away money like that.

Ignore this prick, you're a hero, stick it to the man. Also if you want to throw 10k $ in btc my way that'd be super helpful too.

Promise it's a good cause, you'd really like it, shame it's a secret.

[beetcoin]

wow, that's insane.. you must be loaded PG. you think they might just keep your money? i mean, they are known for being dysfunctional and corrupt.

Congrats on your investment. 
What was the primary reason you paid $100K?

[RoxxR]

His "proof" doesn't show shit. Just looks like giant attention whore to me. Can nobody read the blockchain properly?

That's cute. Guess they've got a rig pointed at Eligius.

Scrabbling around to get those coins in before they go broke in 18 months (according to Matonis' financial 'report').

Come Bruno, pony up, your hundred grand would extend their life by 2-3 weeks. Have a heart.

Impressive commitment
That's more than I have in Net Worth

You calling me a liar? I sure the hell did pay the $100K Platinum Membership fee. You just wait till the confirmations come in, then I'll expect an apology.

There! It's there now. Take a look: https://blockchain.info/address/1BTCorgHwCg6u2YSAWKgS17qUad6kHmtQW

Now, where's my apoloby?

[haploid23]

If true, then congrats man. Now maybe you can leak all the classified info they have.

What's your real motive for joining? I'm sure it's gotta be something else other than getting rid of Brock Pierce.

[QuestionAuthority]

Ok, it's official. You are batshit insane. I wouldn't give TBF $100k if they all rimmed me then blew me.

The real motive is that I just didn't think it fair to have only one paying Platinum Member - KcN Miner - on The Bitcoin Foundation, hence adding my membership fee to TBF's coffer.

[Phinnaeus Gage]

What if they promised a reach-around during said actions? Then, maybe?

There! It's there now. Take a look: https://blockchain.info/address/1BTCorgHwCg6u2YSAWKgS17qUad6kHmtQW

Now, where's my apoloby?

I don't see any recent transactions for $100K.

Btw, that was either a very stupid, or a very smart move.

I don't know which yet, but I am sure that you wouldn't just throw $100K away for no reason.

$100 K can safe a lot of lives but people prefer to buy a yacht
with such money I would build a charity organisation
