Staked Poll on Zcash Dev Fund Debate

+1 and i see even more problems like:

  • nobody isn’t even aware of it yet. Such late introduction could be seen as an attempt to influence the result with a new sudden way of polling/voting.

  • Why wasn’t it mentioned earlier? There have been months since the first voting round. but again just a sudden out of nowhere coin-weight holding is introduced without any preparation. This doesn’t sound good, fair, and normal in a such important voting process.

  • Within the first coin-weighted vote, which was even prepared way better than this one, the result clearly showed and proofed that a handfull voters used this voting mechanism. As a result just 2 or 3 “whales” dictated the outcome. I personally would go as far as saying that in current state this mechanism is far from being a fair playfield without broader adoption. Someone easly could argue that the ECC, it’s employees, shareholders which are more or less insiders in current state of coin-weighted voting could use their holdings/knowledge in own favour.

  • It should be an absolute no-go to add whatever mechanism after the voting has started anyway. Even less if it’s introduced by the ECC who is literally fighting on several points of the proposal.

Edit: just readed this, so it seems coin-weighted voting won’t work anyway and is way to risky at the moment:

[Edit by @daira: this method does still work with the full-node ZecWallet.]
