I have also been checking his profile for the past couple of days & also having the same expression like you 

@ cayars

You are doing a real good job mate, I have been reading this thread almost every day (sometimes I may even miss to read newspaper but not this thread)
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.
