First I'd personally like to thank reorder for changing the default vote used for new setups on hvc.1gh.com to 1.

reoder is also the person who gave us GPU mining on AMD processors! He has been really supportive of our community to say the least and very professional. He and team also run a first class pool!
Many in the community are very great full for all you have done.

--------------------------------

heavycoinpool.com is dead and has the following posted: "Dear friends, the pool is officially dead. Please cash out by 4/15/2014 and THANK YOU ALL for sticking with us to the end!" This pool had promise but Cryptomind dropped out of site in the forums and IRC and the pool went down hill.

hvc.nonce-pool.com is still alive and kicking but with only about 600MH. But they are still finding blocks here and there.
--------------------------------
We have also asked ZHPool to make a similar change to voting in their scripts/batch files as 1GH but this hasn't happened (unlike 1GH who was very responsive). Not even a comment from ZHPool. What's more since ZHPool actually has our email address and whatnot it would have been even easier for them to help us get the vote count lower by doing a one time email on our behalf.

I'm throwing this out to the community as a question. Would any of you be interesting in doing a boycott on ZHPool until such time as they lower the vote count?
hvc.nonce-pool.com from my split testing was previously the best paying of all 4 up to the time they lost hash rate. Fast in the US and a very responsive website for MPOS. They have 1% pool fee but only 0.01 (not 0.1) HVC transfer fee. If enough people would boycott ZHPool until they make a change we could move some substantial traffic to Nonce which would send a message that they need to listen to the community!

Nonce has 512 as the default vote count but I'm sure if we moved traffic there we could get them to lower the suggest vote value to 1.

At least 512 is better then default of 1024 which is what ZHPool still has set.

I would just suggest switching to 1GH but then we are putting all our hash in one pool which isn't healthy for the network overall. I hope you understand this reorder! (we all owe you gratitude, but for the sake of the HVC network, need to keep the hash spread around a bit). Although I'd be the first to say reorder has always been very profession and one of the biggest supports of the HVC network. But from a valuation standpoint it's better to have the hash spread around.

From my previous testing I believe if we could get around 6GH moved there it would be worth it and no one would feel like we took a hit by moving to a low hash network.

So I wanted to throw this idea out to the community to see if there is any interest in fighting back a bit for a lower vote count. After all, if the community works as a team we have a "bigger voice" that will get heard.

I bet just the "threat" of moving will get them to take action and if not then when they see GH dropping from their pool, they will drop by the forum and figure out why and make the change.

What do you guys think?

This is a great idea! Much respect to reorder for the default vote of 1! The low vote camp should work as hard as we can to negate the greedy camp's 1024 votes. Zhpool has done the community a great disservice with their 1024 default vote. I'd really like to hear their logic behind that. Everyone stands to benefit far more from an extended mint phase.

We are a group of 10 low to middle level miners (100 to 400 Mh power each) & we have been mining since 17th Mar, with all our rigs having set 128 as the vote since then.
Now starting from last week, we all have set the vote to 1 & luckily for past 3-4 days each of our rigs finds atleast 1 block every 24 hours. I hope other people also read this thread constantly & change their vote to 1 or atleast lower than 512. Since Devs seem busy with something HVC community must take necessary action for wellness of this coin.

This is great, and exactly what we need to have happen. Lets put maximum downward pressure on the vote and stay vocal about the community's displeasure with high default votes.

Keep up the great work all, we have a great community here!
