Foundation has in its brief tenure organized the largest and arguably most
influential Conference to date, issued a number of responses to legal
challenges, and pro-actively engaged with regulators and legislators in an
effort to close the knowledge gap, and impart a more nuanced understanding of
the network. September of 2013 sees the first new seats added to the Foundations
board, one with candidates chosen from the Individual Membership and the other
from the Industry membership. With increased attention from governmental bodies
all over the world, a growing userbase and change on the horizon, whoever wins
the seats will help influence the direction of the foundation, and represent the
interests of the community. It is an important role. Todays debate is comprised
of eight total segments, with questions crowdsourced from the Foundations
Members and the Bitcoin Subreddit. I will ask a question, and candidates
will have 90 seconds maximum to answer when prompted. As this is a role that
will likely involve publicly representing Bitcoin, answers were not edited as we
usually do for Let’s Talk Bitcoin. Of the 14 Candidates running for the
individual seat, 11 will join us today. Ben Davenport lost his voice at a very
inconvenient time and was not able to participate, you can find his written
responses in the accompanying transcripts courtesy of Bitcoin Magazine. Edward
Clements and Pedro Fernandes were not able to schedule with us in the allotted
time.
