What's up with the AEX votes?
Yesterday we where at the 1st place and the ticket - count where above 88000000, today on the morning it was 66666666 and now we have been falling down to the 7th place with only 534313 tickets.
Edit: My ticket count wasn't reduced - I confused it with the tether price for the buy trade!
Do I have problems to understand the voting rules or is there anyone who is manipulating or messing around with the voting?
Honestly, I don't know. Today we had up to 100M votes. Then back to the usual almost-500K.
I don't know how that's possible and what's the porpose of doing it (by whoever).
If any of you know more, please share.
I believe the problem lies in the possibility of withdrawing the "VOTE" via the "REFUND" key at any time (up to 3 days before the deadline), although the rules give the impression that this is only possible after the conclusion of a voting round, if the project did not win: Such a nonsense - that leads to any vote ad absurdum if someone can retrospectively withdraw his vote!
Perhaps those who have voted with so many tickets have realized that with a "only" 1000000 XCN reward, this could not be a worthwhile short term investment and have therefore withdrawn their tickets ...
But maybe somebody just wants to fool us ...
To prevent fooling it might be a good idea to convince AEX that ticket-withdrawing shall only possible for those tickets that were placed in previous rounds and not for those who were placed in the current round.
Apart from that - I do not understand why AEX does not simply reactivate trading for XCN: The XCN wallet is still available on AEX (but you can only debit): Activation would certainly not cost the IT of AEX more than 5 minutes!
And why would someone vote the exact amount to reach a total of 66666666 votes? or 100000000? :-)
"Cui bono?"
When I think about who could use these actions, I can only think of two variants at the moment:
Someone wanted to improve his understanding of the voting mechanism - hence the harmless variant:
1. Someone has tested the functions of the voting mechanism
Currently, AEX would make a profit of 7 BTC if OPC wins - This results in the nasty variant:
2. AEX is trying to increase ticket sales by fearing the supporters of projects in the front seats that they might lose their leadership role. This would allow AEX to further increase its profits from the voting rounds.
If this continues we will probably have to wait another 6 rounds until XCN finally wins!
