hey pacu I posted the copy of my vote.db file which is all the info I have access to:

Using a DB browser should give you easy access to the data:

I am concerned about this too. I am very much interested in testing out other options but I _do_ think coin voters should be included in some fashion. I encourage more folks to get involved in terms of the “operations” side.

In terms of the “why” and the “how” questions, that is what we are here to debate 😃 I think the best way to understand something however is to “use it”.
