quite obvious
I would have voted with the minority, but I don't go off-site to use some data harvesting bullshit site just to vote in on a silly poll. People who are not familiar with sample selection (and certain other network sciences) should be careful about interpretation of jokes like this.
My best guess is that by headcount, the split is about 1/4 on the hard fork. That is much more promising than I'd expected given the makeup of the community. 25% by headcount is easily enough to keep a defensible system healthy. By actual skin-in-the-game it would not surprise me in the least if a significant majority by HODL both favored the conservative approach and, more importantly, have the skills to protect their asses/assets. Edit:...and probably exploit many of the other 75% if they so choose.
i'm quite sure that gmax and his buddies came here to register their no votes. i openly told him about it back when the ratio was 4:1 or 80% for earlier on. immediately, a bunch of no votes started getting registered bringing it down to just over 3:1 where it is now.
of course consensus would be best which is the same thing as saying 100% for or against but in some forks like this one that doesn't appear possible. the "vote" at least gives everyone an idea where the majority of ppl stand on this in the community. it's alot better than no information. and we have 3 independent polls, including mine, all saying the same thing.
