RE: Gridcoin Liberation Front: Call for action on the Moo! Wrapper vote!
first of all, that quote was obviously a joke... I thought that was obvious. I don't "dish out" some GRC for a vote because that's exactly the point I made (I never said wether I was for or against the vote actually). As I said: "If you want to help the ones with less GRC - great!", but the way it is done - to make people vote for something they might not agree with - was of my concern.
Imagine this: There is a poor country and I promised everyone 100$ to vote for me as their next president. You could now say: "cool, he does something for the poor." or you could say: "oh, he buys votes. That is highly immoral and just makes himself more powerful."
I'm on the second train. Buying votes - which is what this clearly is - is nothing I support. Just pay everyone, even the ones voting "keep", then I don't have any problem anymore.
your analogy is invalid on the account that in normal voting every vote counts equally. that is exactly the issue here: in grc you vote with your wallet. this has been reiterated several times, i will not do it again. if you want to have an informed opinion read the thread again.
That does not change the fact that the votes are bought...
You can make the case that it is not fair that voting depends on the amount of money you have and I would not completely contradict with you. That is just not the point I raised...
