- Voting has been going on for more then 2 days now
 - Based on reading this thread there is many opponents
 - Yet only 90299 coin (in 2 adresses) are voting "no"

How come?

You know what they say: "Put your hodlings where your mouth is"


I fail to see how a vote open for a little over a day is representative of the community's opinion at large. I did not even see the motion until after it was passed and I would hazard a guess that it was/is the same for many others. The speed through which this motion passed definitely gives the appearance of impropriety. I support my assertion with the fact that the software changes are already in testing phase. It seems a little too pre-planned.

Ideally I think motions should have more time for discussion, and a longer voting period before any action is taking. On this occassion, I'm acting rapidly because 1. I think the coin was in a parlous state and needed rapid action 2. The motion enjoyed rapid and nearly unanimous support of voting HOdlers 3. Markets reacted well to the motion 4. The motion acted to replace a much more controversial motion of large cuts to the block reward.

However if you think i've acted improperly, you're free to file a motion of censure, or of no confidence, or a motion to reverse this change.
 


I asked before how to vote and what this change means but got no answer, i'm also against the change, how can I vote against it ?

We should have new version 2 binaries soon that support the proper signatures, and I think we'll look at adding a new section to the website with clearer details.
