I like the stake weighted voting, since it is anarcho capitalistic in its nature, as an opposite to 1 vote per person, like in democracy.

I also don't think that we need more witnesses or nodes, as it will be too time consuming to keep track of them.

The problem we have at hand is that one person/entity control too much stake and that that stake was promised to not being used for voting (when Ned controlled it).

I see a hardfork as only solution.
