WTF? Do you even understand what is being proposed?
I do. You apparently don't. This is why I'll quote it for you:
To get the conversation started, here are some functions I think a Bitcoin Foundation could perform:
- Interact with the legal system, where a centralized entity is needed: for example, to hold the Bitcoin trademark, own/control the bitcoin.org domain name, etc.
- Act as a central library for accurate information about Bitcoin, so journalists and policymakers have an 'official' place to learn about Bitcoin.
- Collect donations to fund infrastructure necessary for Bitcoin's growth (organize regular developers' conferences or get-togethers maybe? pay for development of cross-implementation testing tools? pay core developers' salaries? create a certification/testing program for Bitcoin implementations? create a central clearinghouse for information about legal issues surrounding Bitcoin across the world?)
I agree with all listed functions of such a not-for-profit foundation. Go guys, do it!
