Didn't know about that - also because all the satoshi finding made me wary of digging into people too much and instead I wanted to judge by the code and the proposals alone, especially early on. Later, following the money made sense - I never wondered about Paul though, must admit, simply because no new proposals came out.

To my memory it restarted from being a Paul-only-thing to a wider thing.

I didn't mind his proposal in the early days when he made it. Now, I dislike his proposal. Not because the proposal changed, but because of the endless drama because it didn't make it. Imagine paying attention to every idea that didn't make it that anyone ever had. Sometimes, you gotta move on, and I strongly feel this is one of those times.

That they can't let it go and are going the shitcoiner route... fine. Let them. Hopefully this is the last thing I ever hear of it.
