> Peter Todd, a developer who has contributed to the Bitcoin project, says Andresen seems in more of a hurry than others involved with the project to tweak Nakamoto’s design
Peter Troll. The guy never gets tired of derailing discussions and slowing down all development on github issues. It's always about bringing completely unrelated technical or economical issues, for the sake of saying "look I'm smart!". He also loves to imagine conspiracies, like the block size issue (Nakamoto didn't want to keep it at 1MB forever, but Peter says he says he did and even created a website just for that :s). And he is always accepting donations of course, and contracts with altcoins (they get the press -useful for a quick pump/dump-, he gets the money).
Your response is about the person, not the argument.
I tend to agree: the whole receipts mess is a good example. Bitcoin really should not expand its scope that far - it's inelegant and a bad idea (vs. "do one thing and do it well") - and Gavin has been its champion.
