I'm a long-time Karma holder and would love to vote but am unable to do so in the interface. Is their a restriction on who can vote?
The BTCtalk forum has this automatic restriction on who can vote, usually the newly created accounts cannot do so, this is so to avoid SPAM account creation just to influence a poll.
As for your case, you can instead post YOUR opinion of the matter by posting on the thread, it will then be known to everyone whether you personally support the move or not.
Just noticed on my 30th post the Submit Vote appeared and I was promoted from "Newbie" to "Jr. Member" status. Hooray for me!
I will certainly cast my vote and am flattered that anyone would be interested in what a newly minted 30-post Jr Member has to say but here goes:
On one hand I put alot of stock in:
a) v0.8.6.5-beta QT dormant on my desktop for 46 weeks firing-up, finding a bunch of peers and fully syncing within a day
b) seemingly active (albeit small cap) market on Cryptotpia with quickly confirming withdrawals to my QT wallet
c) active explorer on Chainz
.. which to me means there's interest in keeping the coinbase alive.
On the other hand watching the blockchain I learned of the 10K per min emission dilemma (I read "mining bug") that needs to be solved and with no active Dev in sight there's little hope of getting out of litoshi-land where at current exchange of 167 lito per sat the 15 lito Karma is less than 1/10 of the way towards 1 sat, and the 10K per min thing isn't helping.
Also, sitting on some xcp from my early days I was pleasant surprised to see xcp recent price so I successfully revisited my counterwallet and am ready to go if/when the Karmatoken exchange happens. Either way I've always been intrigued by the charitable aspect so welcome the emergence of platform/community geared towards that aspect of crypto.
Full disclosure, I'm a small holder, suffice to say not in the 50M+ club, so I know others have a bigger stake, so if you've reached this point in my post thanks for reading.
**This is a quote of a new post on the OLD KARMA THREAD.
Though you posted on the other thread, I thank you for your objective observations. About the price, it went as low as 3 to 5 litoshis and as the migration period progresses it may rise more due to inherent rarity of the KARMATOKEN, bringing the equivalent KARMA price to more than 1 satoshi each, I trust you guys that you can do the math why.-east
