@virtuallylaw You still don't get it: we've got plenty of core dev funding, its a *tiny* project with very few needed changes.

@petertoddbtc That's your opinion. Others are allowed to feel differently and fund those efforts, no?

@virtuallylaw Of course they are. If you want to fund dev work, my advise is to not fund it through the foundation.

@petertoddbtc Why? You don't like independent funding for the project? Come up with something better. We funded you and that was good

@virtuallylaw A small amount is fine, but the foundation being a major dev drive would a serious negative to the project.

@petertoddbtc So basic funding and infrastructure for a >$5b project is "a serious negative", okay we disagree...

@virtuallylaw The amount of money involved with Bitcoin has nothing to do with how much *core dev* effort is needed on it.

@petertoddbtc wrong again. There is more at stake today because of the value of the network. Don't be overly reductionist.
