Actually it is cool and some kind of fun tool currently, that’s ok. If the ECC would like to test it, so it be, test if for voting on a mascott, homepage color, or whatever ECC internally, but don’t introduce it a sudden out of nowhere in an ongoing voting process where a multi million budget is decided.
While i agree to the foundation part i absolutly doubt the ECC part, even less as we do not get a clear statment that the results will not be taken into account. Here it doesn’t matter if you call it strong weight, some weight as a weight is a weight and this more than suspect coin-weight voting should NOT get any weight.
I see this totally different. IF such results are taken into account or even considered to be taken into account it’s just normal that a huge part of the community and outside the community points the finger on us all that we let a mostly manipulated vote occur. The whole coin-weighted mechanism, the way it got introduced a sudden and unreliable is doing more harm than good allready, leave alone if such resluts are taken somehow into account, considered and even noticed.
Have in mind that the last attempt by the ECC to count “abstain” votes as “yes” votes can be considered allready as a manipulation attempt!
