Thank you for the replies.  so as there is not some other possible vote option looming after this one, it seems the best option is vote yes to this.  nav has a great team and great tech but companies need funding to do great things.  i think the community involvement is a nice aspect also.

can anybody explain the rational for the why the lower staking rate though?  I'm a big picture type of person so the yes vote is obvious to me but i am curious about this.  Thanks
