are any plans for a voting mechanism on diamond masternode network ?
yes we plan to utilize masternnode voting for polls about decisions where we seek stakeholder feedback
we habe the voting technology in our codebase we just need to choose the way we want to activate it
because we dont shameless tax masternode income like other coins (dash pivx ....)
the voting mechanism will not be about distribute funds
it will be used for stakeholder polls
But, by default, the voting (governance) code requires that you have a masternode to vote.
This means (once again) that a little over half of the investors make decisions about the project.
Not that this is a bad aspect of the project, but, it is how the voting works - by default.
Again, it looks like centralised voting system, but it is actually not. It should be like this because Diamond developers can not give cheaters, spammers, scammers (who mostly might get little amount of Diamond coins) opportunities to vote. Those fake supporters can help to 'destroy' the project in work level, and voting system in particular.
So, you have to have a "more than a little" DMD and be an authentic supporter to vote?
In the US, we have no such rules for voting - which has been a problem recently:)
While your opinion is noted, it does not appear to be sound.
The Diamond developers are not actually the sole developers - they've made significant changes to an existing codebase "forked from PIVX-Project/PIVX" and support the community.
The project has no less than (4)
Copyright notices in the code.
It is because I support this project, and own coins, that I point this out.
It's always been a community project and I feel it should remain as such.
Voting should be community voting - not just investor voting.
its open source if u not happy with us create ur DMD Cash..........
we have plenty of DMD Cash to sell for if we dont like it
open source by idea means everyone can contribute code improvements and do code review and write his coments
its not some kind of voting engine
DMD foundation will use masternode voting tool as way to gather feedback and not as solo decicion making entinity
in our opinions the people who put serious effort since years and a serious amount of money (= hold a masternode)
and not everyone who just hold hand full diamond should have a major voice when we gather feedback
a forum like here and a poll is not suited for such stuff the loudest voices often hold zero or minimal share in the coin
if u want to improve the voting code so it can be used by non masternodes too
and the vote is weighted by the amount of coins the address own when the voting closes
u are welcome to submit your code on github
this is how open source developing work
do this dont do that voices
thats not helping to make something happen
code the stuff u want to see to happen and submit it to the project
if its not total out of scope the chances are very high we would include well written community provided code
