I just checked Mintpal, and we are in 2nd place.  Conspiracy is in 1st, and good for them....  They got a strong loyal community just like us, with some real interesting things showing in the Analysis paper they have on their BTC Talk Forum ANN post. Can't say that I follow the coin, but to each their own, I am certain they will do well.

The consideration to cancel voting is stemming from some of the other coins (at least one, whom will remain nameless)  who are claiming that we (Dnotes, and Conspiracy Coin were named specifically) are using bots in order to inflate our voting numbers. I ran across this while looking at some of the other coins in the lead to see what they were all about.

Now I am not certain how that would be possible, as in order to even cast a vote you need to be a registered user with an active trading history...  But the accusation was made, and it was noted on the open forum that at least one supporter of a competing for a top spot currency had emailed Mintpal repeatedly with the accusations. 

If I was in Mintpal's shoes, I would of course look into allegations of foul play, because if someone is gaming the system, then what else could be impacted...  If they take action beyond that, that's for them to decide.

With this short timeline for getting added to the exchange, the competition is heating up, and people will do whatever they can in order to get their favored coin into a better position.  I am just glad that this community is standing with the integrity of the coin, rather than running wild with allegations, crying wolf, and resorting to what I personally would deem underhanded practices.

Sorry... I just read this and realized I was ranting...  I'm going to bed now.
