Why would you want to make it more difficult for people who have invested a lot of money in Dash to vote? I don't see the benefit.




In answer to your question, people who have invested a lot in masternodes get a lot of dash paid in masternode payments so its not like you are hurting them. If it were possible to have only one vote per person instead of per masternode, the idea I guess is that the little people get more influence in the direction of Dash which might serve as a way to prevent too much power accumulating to those few wealthy elites at the top of the Dash pyramid. If you get my meaning

(oops did an edit instead of reply by accident, have lost the original comment I had here Sad )

Perhaps jus cap the votes per person? like 50 votes per masternode owner is plenty.... this doesn't need to be an uphill battle...

and yea, you old comment is gone.

While it seems that a larger masternode holder has too much power with the voting system, it is still proportional to everyone else.  So those 100 masternodes are still 100x the investment as 1 masternode.  The concept is the more you risk in collateral the more influence you have in voting.  Slowing down how an owner votes with limited commands or maximum votes at a time isn't going to change the result of a vote since you still have 24 hours minimum to vote.

Now we could throw in some hanging chads...then this would get interesting.
