This is getting interesting. How would you go about to remove Gavin from his lead position in the old model? You claim it was easy. To me it seems easier now when I am a member of the foundation employing him. I wonder how you would go about to revoke his Satioshi powers in the old model.
I don't think the community will stop watching. A large part of the community has joined the foundation, and will watch it as well.
How? Fork git, discredit his.
You can do exactly the same under the new model. Call your fork "Litecoin" or "Solidcoin" or whatver.
It's all about credibility, it always was. Back then a lead dev was solely responsible for his, now he has a corporation shielding it for him.
I don't think Bitcoin Foundation will corrupt Bitcoin more than Free Software Foundation corrupted free software. The foundation is it's members, who are the community.
Yeah you joined? And your going to vote him out?
Yes, I joined. No I wouldn't dream of voting Gavin out as long as he is the most qualified person for the job.
If J.P. Morgan, CIA and governments around the world would like to support Bitcoin's open development, I would welcome it. They could do it under the old model as well, but under the old model we wouldn't necessarily know about it. Perhaps this is your problem? You just don't want to know about it?
And this fallacy is exactly the reason why I preferred him being independent and constantly watched by the community. Now the community will trust that this Bitcoin foundation is being honest and open
Do you consider yourself as part of the community? If you do, this is obviously false. If not, why do you waste your time trolling around here?
