Time to zap Gavin's alert key in the next release (I assume but to not know that it is still there.) A discussion on replacement(s) should be undertaken.

I would like just to confirm that the alert key is there. I as well have thought about this (as I have defended him in the past). The decision of keeping it should be re-evaluated.

Judging from the miners vote right now, BIP100 is gaining traction while XT is going to 0% (even Slush abandoned it).

He has not abused the key. Just because his opinion doesn't agree with yours you'd like to take the key? That is crazy. We need guys on both sides of an argument to have keys - otherwise Blockstream can just take over the blockchain today.

The next time someone wants to make changes to bitcoin - they will release 'RT' - or whatever. The people will vote. The winner will win. That is how it is supposed to work. You don't want the get rid of Mike and Gavin - they are doing what they are supposed to. Introduce possible things which can improve. Then we vote.

Taking away the keys and kicking him out of the community is the dumbest thing I've read on this forum - and this forum has a lot of very dumb shit.

This is absolutely not an argument of Blockstream vs. others or centralization of developer power.

Gavin has shown himself not trustworthy of this key. His influence over Bitcoin anyway has long started to fade anyway. What has he done for us lately?

XT which is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
