uhuh erm yah sure 

Well thats great news guys!
Another step forward and adding real world validity is not only good for WC but cryptos, it may not alter prices in some giant spike but that's probably a good thing, too much of the pump and dump crypto mentality around and it's great to see an approach which is based on a long term outcome.
Hype is only good if you want coins today, gone tomorrow.
Keep up the good work

I sleep well in WC each night

Void is a great idea and the community continues to talk about it here and with Developers.  Sorry if the communications here hasn't be such that it was accepted or reviewed for deep details about how this could be implemented with WC but I know that this is of very high importance to move on.

I love the idea, WCF forming adds validity to this process (if WCF was to be the entity to do this), this idea (as I understand) currently sits beside the Privacy development discussions.

As you are a volunteer like me, I can appreciate your follow up on this, keeping void alive in the minds of all WC community to pursue and move forward with as a priority of WCF is great! 

Don't worry by the time anyone gets around to implementing whiteout or any of the other features WC will be long gone. Still waiting on that updated wallet with the new logo and that big facelift.... Less than 3 Bitcoins until 0 satoshi on mintpal. But hey we registered as a foundation in Canada!  

Sorry to break it to you but none of these features will be implemented. We have to face the fact we all got fucked over. There is no dev team, there is no PR or marketing team. The foundation is hoarding its funds in hopes to get rich and not spending them like they are supposed to.

I'm going to be direct here, but this is complete nonsense.

We have been very careful in how we spend the foundation funds, unlike other teams. This is our entire budget for the operation of the coin and we have a responsibility to the community to spend it wisely. We have issued a bounties list, and have used the funds to have games, tipbots, videos, and more.

This is a community coin, responsibility in its future rests with all of us. There are some who are oriented to talk, others to action, but all we've ever seen you do here is come in and talk a big talk about helping.... but no action.

Get involved. Help out. Actually contribute something more than words. That's how a community coin works. If you'd rather go back to a centralized "single dev" coin, then please by all means do so, it seems that's what you think WhiteCoin is. Here at WhiteCoin, you don't get to just sit on the sidelines and quip at hard working volunteers without response. You have to work hard yourself as well, because the onus rests with all of us. It is the key to our long term success and what sets us apart from the rest.

I sincerely hope that one day you decide to get off the sidelines and do more than talk and spread negativity for this coin. None of us on the operations team have used these funds for our own personal gain and nor would we ever. I myself, despite having put in excess of 200 hours since april into whitecoin, have yet to ask for a dime in recompense. And my total WC portfolio amounts to 250K WC.

Hey mogonzo,  Here's some small changes that i made.

Draft media release for community consultation -- Surfguy72 edits

CryptoCurrency Association Condemns Canadian Government's bitcoin approach isolating Canada from a $8 Billion and growing industry.

The WhiteCoin Foundation must express its deep concern regarding the Canadian Government's recent moves involving bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. These provisions hidden deep within Bill C-31 are being implemented without consulting the industry they impact. This sends a clear message to an industry that holds great potential to Canadian Tech markets: your needs don't matter to us.
Chris Salsman, President of the WhiteCoin Foundation, feels this signals the Harper Government's lack of competency when it comes to bitcoin  and the growing use of cryptocurrencies in the 21st century.

"I think it demonstrates how misinformed they are. There was no public discussion. No consultation with industry partners. We're looking for Canada to be a leader in welcoming cryptocurrency as a viable alternative for online value transfer. But this move demonstrates very clearly that the health of the cryptocurrency industry in Canada is irrelevant to the government. They're stuck in an old mindset, implying bitcoin is only used for criminal activity when nothing could be further from the truth."

The WhiteCoin Foundation believes money laundering  and other similar activities are of serious concern to the industry, and should in fact be made more difficult by the transparent nature of cryptocurrency's fundamental concepts. Had the industry been consulted, their efforts could have been bolstered. But by excluding industry from the process, they risk sending a chill through the markets, and chasing away investors both internal and external to Canada.
Mr. Salsman believes this short sighted approach needs to change. 
"Cryptocurrency holds great potential for the Canadian economy, our industry is desperate for skilled technical labour. But if this trend of non-discussion continues we'll see all this potential business move offshore like in so many other cases. Why they haven't considered that remains an open question."

Would be awesome to get his picked up by media outlets...  I think WC's methodology toward a community driven and backed currency would be well received by government and the public.
