Dear list,
Mike has made a variety of false and damaging statements about Bitcoin, =
of which this is but one:
> On Sep 30, 2015, at 2:01 PM, Mike Hearn via bitcoin-dev =
<bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org> wrote:
> I coined the term SPV so I know exactly what it means, and bitcoinj =
implements it, as does BreadWallet (the other big SPV implementation).
On his website Vinumeris.com <http://vinumeris.com/> he writes:
> Vinumeris was founded in 2014 by Mike Hearn, one of the developers of =
the Bitcoin digital currency system.
On plan99.net <http://plan99.net/> there are several embedded videos =
that refer to him a =E2=80=9Ccore developer=E2=80=9D of Bitcoin. And now =
it seems he is claiming to be Satoshi.
It seems to me that Mike=E2=80=99s emails, false statements (like the =
one above about coining SPV), arguments, and his attempts to steal =
control of Bitcoin via the contentious Bitcoin XT fork, represent =
actions that have been harming and dividing this community for several =
years now.
In many communities/tribes, there exists a line that, once crossed, =
results in the expulsion of a member from the community.
So, two questions:
1. Does the Bitcoin-devs mailing list have such a line?
2. If so, does the community feel that Mike Hearn has crossed it? (I =
personally feel he has. Multiple times.)
Thanks for your thoughts,
Greg Slepak
