It is curious that only a handful of people have shown up on the Bitcoin Foundation website to resign from or defend the
foundation. Is it possible that most of the names listed on the Bitcoin Foundations member page are zombie members?

I deeply respect Patrick for publicly stating his concerns regarding the Bitcoin Foundation and essentially igniting a well needed debate. However, could most of the members have already left , quietly, in disgust and without fanfare long ago?

It could be that the Bitcoin Foundation has steered the elections to industry members only because most of the non-industry members are zombies. It would look pretty bad if only 24 individual members voted out of 1500.

I think the Bitcoin Foundation needs to have a public roll call and remove any zombie member names from their web page. Truth in advertising.

Not sure what your ref. to zombies is, but I firmly believe that 95% of the names you see as members are real people using their real names.

I define a zombie member as someone who joined at some point in time but then stopped paying the yearly dues. The foundation left the delinquent members name on the list but they are not really active members.

With that definition: Are 90% of the Bitcoin Foundation members zombie members?

If that is true, then I can start to understand why the foundation did not let the individual members vote for the new board members. They would have a very embarrassing voter turnout.

I personally believe that 80-90% of the countable members are zombie members. Does anyone know?

Thanks for the clarification, bud. Akin to keeping all your listed failed companies on your Linkedin page to make it look more impressive. Who the fuck in their right mind would have DEN as one of their badges of accomplishments?
