Bitcoin is not a charity, it is built on &#xA;incentives.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; He&#39;s lost his integrity and trust and why the core developers&#xA;&#xA;Only a very small minority of the developers have &#34;integrity and trust.&#34; &#xA;Most are pretty irrational and untrustworthy if you look at their &#xA;discussions outside of their technical expertise.  Bitcoin is not &#xA;supposed to have a model where users are not forced to trust a small &#xA;group such as the core developers.  It sounds to me like you suggest &#xA;giving that up the idea of decentralization so you can gain control over &#xA;the &#34;official&#34; software releases.&#xA;&#xA;Russ&#xA;&#xA;Russ</html></oembed>
