this is a huge step in right direction for zcash… but one of my obvious worries is that coin voting governance is dominated by one of zooko’s friends that got like 300K ZEC basically free from the founders reward era and hes now in control of voting until we have a voting machine that includes more than only shielded ZEC. if we really want to get serious about coin voting then we need shielded AND transparent ZEC to have equal opportunity for voting. AND we need a way to parse out the dominating power of the powers that be who are Zookos friends from the original launch where massive amounts of ZEC were given directly to a tiny chunk of insiders. cough cough GoJo friends…
crazy to look back and see Zooko deleted his comment(s) requirement for a repolling of the first coin vote after his friend failed to participate in the first deadline… then to our surprise… hanh reran the poll and the ZEC voting total jumped by like 350K ZEC from what was originally 100K ZEC
whats the point of it, why go thru the theater act when its simpler to just let Z’s friend be an authority figure in Zenate and then just exclude his massive bag of ZEC from coin voting
