for anyone distressed by the sudden low number of votes at Mintpal, it looks like they have changed their voting system, you now only get one free vote per hour (presumably this is to get them more donations... go figure!), so Logi has about a quarter of the votes it used to have, this applies to all other coins as well of course so its standing has remained the same.
As for the other discussion going on at the moment, POS doesn't really interest me personally, although once the reward has dropped perhaps we could investigate the possibility of a multipool option to increase buying demand?
