Re: Gavin Threatens to Quit Bitcoin Development and Join Hearn's Fork
The core developers, Gregory, Pieter, Luke and Matt are involved in a company Blockstream: https://www.blockstream.com/team/ .
Obviously they want Blockstream to be successful. Please tell me how Gavin is biased and the others aren't.
There are two sides to (almost) each story, and there definitely are hidden agendas involved here.

Luke is involved in Blockstream? I don't see him at your /team/ link. Also conspicuously absent is Garzik, who opposes Bitcoin-XT as well.
Either way, the 'Only Blockstream conflicts of interest prevent 20mb block support' meme is idiotic. Case in point: Mircea. So fuck off with the defamatory accusations of "hidden agendas."
While the other core devs' are not, Gavin's biases are uniquely disqualifying:
-Gavin could care less about TOR users and decentralization
-Gavin wants to change the 10 min block target
-Gavin doesn't believe proof of work has a place in BTC's long-term future
-Gavin pointedly bypassed the normal proposal discussion channels in favor of smoky/spooky VC backrooms and Reddit demagoguery
He's either gone crazy or been compromised. I don't need to speculate about the why or how to see that.
