To all Coinographic clients and customers: As MrBAU has quoted, our decision is final and there will be no recount. We would like to address the voting and put things into perspective for you all.
One of our rules contained an error, where
"any vote from an account that has not had any posting activity after 4th October 2014 will not be counted" should have in fact been "
before" the 4th October 2014. We apologise for what we felt was an obvious typo; we only noticed it until after the competition and amended it accordingly in our votes. If we were not to amend this rule, inactive or sockpuppet accounts (provided they were created before the 4th November 2014) could have easily posted on other Bitcointalk forums before making their votes, which we would have then counted - unfairly - as valid. We hope this clears up any confusion.
Please find our votes spreadsheet
here. Note that users such as
maximuss,
losh11 and
RancidGash have valid votes under the correct rules.
This will be our final statement on this matter. Due to the feedback we've received and drama that has taken place throughout our contests, there will be no more design competitions on Bitcointalk in future.
We would like to thank you all for participating in this competition and we look forward to manufacturing the winning coins.
