I closed the first poll as a three way poll isn't that accurate, especially when the first two options were similar enough.

The 100 billion option could be polled on but is anyone actually enthusiastic about it? As well wasn't the point behind this other people's superstition? The number 8 is an important number in East Asia. I'm not sure if the number 10 is considered good anywhere.

I think two options are good enough, but what if someone doesn't want a change?

1st poll is (A) 4 billion (B) 3,888,888,888 (C) 8 billion
2nd poll is (A) 3,990,000,000(4 billion) (B) 8,000,000,000(8 billion)
In 1st poll, We have only to read the result as {(A)+(B)} vs (C).
If 1st poll is closed, surely somebody will say "Why there is not the choice of 3,888.......?"

EDIT/ In fact, the ideal poll is (A)4 billion(including 3,999..... and 3,88.....) vs (B) 8 billion.
And if (A) is the winner, then poll again (a) 4 billion (b) 3,999..... (c) 3,888....
WOW. So Poll, Much Vote Grin

I think a first pole should be "Do we change the number of units? Yes or No"

If people say no, it is over. If people say yes, then we work on the number to change it too.

You are somewhat right.
The issue started not from "Shall we change the amount of NEM or not?", but from "How about changing the amount of NEM into 8 billion?"
So, the poll proceeded like present.
I personally regard these polls as an opinion survey of NEM members, and believe our creative and open minded dev/marketing team will make a wise decision/action considering the result of polls.
