A committee to guide the committee? You guys truly have lost the plot.
All the good minds and cryptographers have left Bitcoin. What remains is
an empty echo chamber.
Truth is these problems start with lack of vision and long-term roadmap,
not with the processes themselves.
And the Bitcoin Core monopoly created this situation; one coin, one
client, one vision. And the inevitable infighting for ultimate power.
Really if we want to go down this route, there should be a long period
of self reflection about where the problems began rather than patching
some process and moving on.
I propose Bitcoin Core is dissolved as the official Bitcoin project.
Nonsense, as it is not the official Bitcoin project. There is no such thing.
The community is free to elect their preferred version of Bitcoin.
Individuals have voted with their feet and are free to continue to do so. It's anarchy, I tell you!
And most importantly, Bitcoin developers commit to a fully specced standard that
all implementations move towards using.
Who decides the spec? Perhaps... a committee of some sort?
