Do not change anything in block reward voting, the point of a pseudo-democratic coin like heavycoin is to let the miners decide.
Changing the block reward will be like cheating to me.
I hate coin changing reward just to keep the value from decreasing. Let the market (and the miners for heavycoin) decides !
I am voting 1 myself since the beginning but I do not care that some people vote 1024.
They surely have a reason to do it and it should be respected.
The only things that will make the value grows up is hype and services.
+1
BUT, I also think than a high percentage of miners are voting 512 & 1024 as that's what was in the sample miner config.
We need to educate the miners more.
We need zhpool to mass email all the miners on why voting lower is beneficial.
