From my point of view it's not failing,
once bter and other exchanges start voting for themselves, everybody will rush to buy a coin that pays interest and hold,
at the moment everybody moved the coin there and can't vote.
In the worse case scenario nobody will give anything to memorycoin foundation, being the reasons:
1- greed
2- it's perceived as a hidden effort from your part to get coins,
and few people believe you will actually donate coins to those charity you mentioned in the web.
this is internet, pics or it never happend...
So everybody is acting in their own selfinterest...
You will have to talk with bter and or coinholders to donate to you or the mysterious "foundation" to improve the web, and list in it, properly, the addresses to send the votes and develop things for the coin.
I mean wordpress, really?
I mined 2 blocks in this month with my laptop and will happy vote if there was a tool for that.
most likely the coin holders voting for themselves are doing it with an automatic tool putting regular users in a disadvantage.
possible ideas, could be:
web and continued development in the future top priority.
Maybe only 1 grant per day? So there could be discussions in the forums/chats about what to vote today.
i don't understand the voting system; how often do you have to do it, and how it knows how many coins you have.
