The second coinholder poll is now open. Coinholders can express their support for the various Dev Fund proposals. There is also an option to end the Dev Fund and allocate 100% of the block rewards to miners.
This round of voting will be open until block 2,576,000, which should occur around July 15, 6:00am UTC. The results will be released after the poll closes.

I’ve updated the FAQ below.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Am I eligible to participate?
To be eligible to participate, you must have moved ZEC into the Orchard pool or refreshed your notes during the registration period that occurred from blocks 2,540,000 to 2,557,150.
Why is there a registration period?
The reason for the registration period is because it’s too computationally intensive to scan all Orchard notes since inception. “Proof of balance” uses the halo2 circuit. Like Orchard, the wallet needs to compute witness data, and allowing every Orchard note ever means downloading all the blockchain data and processing several GB of hashes.
What version of the app do I use?
You must be using YWallet v1.7.0+4 or newer. If you’re seeing the below error, you need to update your app:

Can I change or delete my vote?
While it is technically possible to create a feature that allows users to change or delete their vote, YWallet’s mechanism is designed to prevent this. Once a vote is submitted, it cannot be changed or deleted. Votes are binding, similar to a US presidential election where, once you cast your ballot, you cannot go back and change or delete your vote.
Where can I see the results?
The results of this poll will be released after it closes on July 15.
Disclaimer
As Hanh previously mentioned, the coinholder voting mechanism has not been audited or undergone a code review. For added safety, the ballot is not signed with your spending key.
This is an experimental poll, so please participate at your own risk.
