I don't want to sound ungrateful of the second place that we won (I mean we still get a discount of 7,500 USD on the listing fee) but the last minute run of INS seems majorly fishy. Although it was on my mind but I didn't mention it since....... well now that you have shared your doubts, it's much easier to share mine as well.

We took the lead from Verge and then lost it to them again. Weird part is that after Verge got its second wind, its vote did not increase much after that. These sudden last moment bursts of vote increase for both Verge and INS seemed artificial even as they were happening. Steem was the only one in top 3 that was rising gradually but continuously - mark of an organic growth.
