FWIW I appreciate the privacy concerns you and others have raised with this system. However, I know this will be _non-binding_ and I adopt an @amiller mentality from the thread you linked back to: > [@Staked Poll on Zcash Dev Fund Debate](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/staked-poll-on-zcash-dev-fund-debate/34846/121): > > I’m torn on this actually - on one hand, I don’t particularly want to attract more hype to the present stakepolling mechanism. We’ve learned we have a lot of clear ways to fix it already. On the other hand, if someone does want to send messages to vote here anyway, _their voices do matter and I want to help boost them._ Also it’s permissionless and not much effort to host, so 🤷‍♂️. The channel is live and I’m monitoring it, zeal with it. > > I’m grateful to everyone who participated in the first stakepoll. I don’t know whether y’all spent $600 to borrow zec then immediately close your position or what. What I do know is you made a deliberate speech act, using shielded memo technology! That’s neat, so,… thanks! The parts that resonate with me are: > _their voices do matter and I want to help boost them._ & > What I do know is you made a deliberate speech act. While the current coin-weighted voting system is not perfect and _some individuals will abstain due to privacy concerns_ I do appreciate ECC’s desire to leverage a permission-less system to enable the voices of _ZODLERS_ who cannot have their voice heard via ZCAP. There are some here who are passionate about the project, have good intent, and are not on the ZCAP like myself. Personally, I have had periods of lurking, reserved engagement, or forum inactivity just like you, just like @steven-ecc, just like so many others who have come and left for a while due to toxicity present here. This and other life events in the past have led me to miss opportunities to join the ZCAP. I feel that a lot of us could be better listeners, better communicators, and perhaps be a little more mindful about other views. Additionally, I personally have not engaged much in the past in prior governance conversations due to the fact that I knew that I was not on ZCAP and thus my voice would not be considered in the final tally. There are likely others like me out there. I have chosen to speak up and participate more this year regardless. > [@steven-ecc](#): > > A constructive conversation around how to make improvements would be valuable and welcome. 👏 👏 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/let-s-give-zec-holders-a-voice-feedback-requested/39941)._
