Well, I guess it's no wonder we can't keep whole exchanges from going down and being completely wiped out either with or without the help of the proprietor of an exchange when we can't write a simple voting system that can't be easily manipulated or in some way questioned.  Honestly, I could care less about the outcome of this one lousy little vote, when we have entire exchanges that are running away with our coins and all because we can't manage, oversee or regulate this new industry that we are creating.

If anyone is interested in working with me to first create a new exchange and secondly work with others to create an agreed upon set of operating rules and principles that would be enforced by an independent 3rd party yet to be created, I would love to hear from you.  I have been toying with the idea for this for a short time, but after being taken/scammed 3 separate times in the last 3 months, I don't see how there is anyone to trust and I don't want to be just one more failure or perceived thief! And you can't have a market place where there is no assurance that standard operating rules are not being followed.

Sorry, this is a bit off topic and a bit scattered but it ties directly to the root of the problems we're having in this industry in general, and we need to bring credibility to all aspects of the system in order to keep the governments out, bring back credibility and confidence that simple transfers and trading mechanisms are not being used against us and to allow us to "self-regulate" our industry or we will become know as a collection of thieves, conmen and hackers. Hopefully all of us are starting to see we have a perceived credibility problem and if we don't find a way to address it ourselves the consumers we are working so hard to get involved and the government who we don't really want involved at all will take this out of our hands.

If I have offended anyone that is honest and well meaning that is not my intention, and I sincerely apologize.

Respectfully,
Gary Birch
