Please explain how that particular setup becomes a pressing conflict of interest issue. Who gets money from whom? What is implemented into the Bitcoin code due to this voting solution rather than any other voting solution?
The more popular Consider.it becomes the more valuable it becomes?
So nobody gets money from anyone and no code is added exclusively due to this solution. But it becomes more valuable because it gets more exposure.
Wouldn't anything the Toomim bros do get more exposure if they become lead devs?
Centralized voting systems are useless anyhow and vulnerable (as recently demonstrated by a Sybil attack).
I would have preferred a decentralized solution where people were uniquely identifiable. But that doesn't have much to do with conflict of interest.
