Cody Wilson’s War: Dark Wallet Co-Founder Plans to Infiltrate, Destroy Bitcoin Foundation
cointelegraph.com
by Armand Tanzarian @ 2014-11-05 06:58 PM
While Americans were going to the polls Tuesday, Upstart Business Journal’s Michael del Castillo reported that Cody Wilson of Defense Distributed and Darkwallet was announcing his own candidacy for the Bitcoin Foundation’s board — and his motives for running were quite clear. Wilson told del Castillo:
“I will run on a platform of the complete dissolution of the Bitcoin Foundation and will begin and end every single one of my public statements with that message.”
It’s nothing personal, Wilson told del Castillo; it’s just that Wilson feels the foundation’s entire existence runs counter to the idea of an unregulated, decentralized economy, which many believe Bitcoin and other blockchain technologies could allow to flourish.
Wilson’s next chance to run would be in early 2015, when Gavin Andresen and Jon Matonis will both have individual seats up for election, according to the foundation’s website. Matonis resigned his position as the foundation’s executive director at the end of October, but he retains his seat on the board through the end of the year.
It is unclear how, in practice, Wilson would actually get elected. “Nominations, as well as voting for candidates, must be done by current Bitcoin Foundation members,” the organization’s website reads.
Bitcoin Foundation’s Evolving Role
The foundation has grown this past year to include 10 affiliates around the world, but there have been notable instances where members of the Bitcoin community have expressed their dissatisfaction with the organization.
Perhaps Bitcoin’s most prominent spokesman, Andreas Antonopoulos resigned as a foundation member, citing what he called “a complete lack of transparency.”
New executive director Patrick Murck addressed that issue in his October 30 blog post on the foundation’s website introducing himself and his plans as the new executive director.
“First, we need to repair our relationship with the Bitcoin community,” Murck wrote. “To do that effectively we may have to take some risks around communications and transparency to show that we can be honestly engaged with the community. That means we may not always say exactly the right thing and we might not always be on message, but we will be authentic in how we interact with the community in the future and I hope that you all get to know the people who work hard to make the Foundation go.”
In the same post, Murck wrote that the foundation’s new focus would be on “standardization through the bitcoin core reference implementation and actively supporting the people building the critical infrastructure that powers bitcoin.”

Blockchain.info Security Update Results in Stolen Bitcoins

The security of the popular Bitcoin wallet Blockchain.info has been often addressed in the news recently. Hundreds of bitcoins have been lost during this Blockchain.info update.
For example, there have been several reports of users losing their funds after using Blockchain.info through the Tor network. In response, the company temporarily blocked all Tor exit nodes, and then started using HSTS as well as providing a dedicated Tor onion address to its Tor population. Blockchain.info was the second company in the world, after Facebook, to receive an SSL certificate for their .onion address.

Obama’s executive amnesty will hit America hard, but what about Canada? Can we expect a flux of Americans to cross the American-Canadian border when the US becomes overrun with Mexicans? Hard to say, but in this video Dan Dicks breaks down why it’s crucial to reinforce the notion that Mexico, the United States and Canada are not the same country; we are not part of a larger union.
VIDEO — Look How Bad They Want You on Food Stamps

(Warning…RANT AHEAD…) See also “Five Facts About the Crony Interest in Food Stamps” now up on our website to go along with this video: http://truthstreammedia.com/five-fact…
Wow, we didn’t realize we can call up our very own food stamp outreach coordinator to help us not only find out if we qualify for food stamps, but help us fill out the application AND help us again when it’s time to reapply for more food stamps, too! Why, they’ll just about do everything but buy the groceries and deliver them to our house for us!
But wait a minute! With a record number of Americans on food stamps (it’s what, 47 million people now and counting?), why are they advertising and pushing food stamps so hard and making it so easy to get them and making sure as many people as possible do?
HM… (Yes. That would be the sarcastic “hm” of people who ask a rhetorical question they obviously already know the answer to.)
What in the hell is this??? (You know, besides yet another blazing neon eyeball-melting signal of the decline of America.)
