Re: [ANN] BitPay Hires Bitcoin Core-Developer Jeff Garzik May 14, 2013, 10:07:01 PM #20 Quote from: tjohej on May 14, 2013, 09:58:48 PM Quote from: farlack on May 14, 2013, 09:56:03 PM I love bitpay, but this is a really bad thing. Now bitpay has control over how bitcoin will work. You are free to hire whomever you want to review the source code and see to it that nothing bad happens to it, if you are worrying about it.
