Interesting comments, but I do find it hard to take stonehedge "that" seriously after what he did with his DRK and although he may well have enjoyed his reflection time, I think its a bit rich to start spouting all that once he is (against what he wanted) left with no coins...

DASH is going the right way, its one year old and lots more things will happen, the way some people talk its as though this all has to be decided by tomorrow...


Oh, I wouldn't disregard his commitment to DASH.  I believe Stonehedge has at least 1 masternode and is very much still a part of the DASH team.  Just because he sees issues, doesn't mean he's not part of the team.  In fact, we need people to speak up about what isn't sitting right with then, hashing it out until we find the focal point of the issue, and clean it up, or resolve the problem/issue.

For me, I totally missed the discussion on that voting mechanism.  What brought it about?  why only masternodes?  I think I was asleep at the wheel.  I'm sure the idea was for marketing direction consensus, which seems benign, but could this become something more controlling?  Like I said, I didn't follow that conversation, and now it's here??

-or else I totally forgot.  I don't recall-

My understanding is that it's just a mechanism for someone who has a stake in Dash to express his/her opinion.
Why only masternodes? Should one who has 0 Dash be able to vote? 10 Dash?
What would be the minimum to avoid that one person voted with 10k (almost) empty wallets?

I understand that, but could it be used, in the future, to disproportionately control DASH somehow?  The idea, like I said, is probably to help make decisions on benign things, but what if it becomes a controlling feature, something never intended?  Maybe that can't happen, but frankly, I see foundation membership as being more interested in doing what is in the best interest of DASH, as they don't have as strong an ulterior motive (making money) and they're actually helping to fund the foundation and pay for development. - supposedly, I mean, that's where the dues are spent.
