He easily does. Same thing with Sunny King and proof of stake. Since not even the developer himself really seems to understand how proof of stake works, and all the secondary or unintended consequences of each variable, few people have the authority to create a consensus to stop something if he wants it to happen. Bitcoin is the same way. It's easier to understand the general concepts of PoW, but there's still secondary or unintended consequences that make the "authority figures" divisible by a handful, or maybe even 1, especially when each change has to conform to future plans that aren't even known by all parties.

Listen nooblet, stop positing that if you've eaten cereal in the morning three times this past week this is "what's done in the morning". Some people fuck in the morning. For instance, your parents, which is how a cereal eating snotty brat like you even exists in the first place.

So more Bitcoin companies should be involved in development? It's funny that Conformal Systems did exactly that, and gets no recognition from Gavin or any of the other core developers for their contributions.

This. Gavin used to be respectable. Not so much anymore.

Back when Gavin used to be respectable, Gavin used to wield a lot of power re the -qt client, and people used to like...even download the newer versions. That time is well past. The overall impact on the Bitcoin network of a new delivery of bitcoin-qt code is roughly nil. You gotta understand that Bitcoin = the Bitcoins, if you get a lot of adoption from people who have together half a Bitcoin you've really got no adoption worth the mention.
