When I saw the vote bump with verge and INS I went through all their social media accounts and joined their telegram communities and I can say there was no where near the amount of banter about netcoins as it was on steemit! It has to be vote farming!
I only hope their is some sort of due diligence process when evaluating the votes as well as the project itself! Verge is a shitcoin that was hacked twice and INS is a nothing project with such low transaction volumes it’s a joke! Listing either 2 wouldn’t benefit netcoins compared to what steem would do it would be them shooting themsleves because it wouldn’t drive adoption of their service! If anything they just lost 15k users off the bat if they ignore steem

I could not have said it any better @chekohler
Yeah we will see how everything turns out. Seems pretty unlikely they could pull that many votes out of a hat organically - but we should have some clearer information on it pretty soon I would think.
Solely the fact that INS achieved that sudden big amount of votes only on the last minutes of the contest, is clear evidence that all those votes were product of some kind of automatisms, bots, AI, votes farming or votes purchased in a few of those many fraudulent services out there online.
