I haven't seen anyone point out that the Bitcoin Foundation pays Gavin's salary, so that he can focus on developing the Bitcoin protocol.
How much protocol development has happened in the last year?
Nobody ever did have an answer to this question, did they?
You want protocol development, go work on it yourself, you selfish bastard. This is an open source project, contribute yourself. Why do you think you get to dictate what sort of work the Almighty Bitcoin Foundation does. /TBF
