Modification of Adam's Experiment: Win Bitcoin's If You Can Come to Consensus!

[BitProdigy]

ok I'm at 90% then. if I win send my coins to Sean's outpost

Why not come to 75% and bring everyone else at 90% with you?  This way we can overcome the dissenters with trollish votes at 50 and 55%!

Notice that the trolls do not even bother to provide an address and thus have no incentive for consensus. They do indeed seek only chaos lol

I think is all a very interesting experiment and am eager to learn of the results in two days. I think 90% can be reached! We shall see!

You 90%-ers will never get consensus at that level.  Come down to 75% for the good of us all!!   

i think we can do it and there's still time,  i'll switch to 75% last min.

I corrected an ambiguity.  I had the poll closing in 48 hours but wrote 24 in the post.  I made it all consistent with when the poll closes (48 hours).

If the 8 people at 90% move to 75% then we will have the required vote (but we still need to wait for 40 people in total).

However, if the 2 people at 75% move to 90% then we still can't overcome the dissenters.  

I think 75% is the safer bet to ensure we ratify.

Exactly, all we need is a last minute switch at the end to the winner to hit 90%, and this is why I believe 90% is definitely achievable and why I vote for 90% and everyone else should too.

But that's assuming that

(a) there is less than 10% trolls
(b) that nearly everyone who voted will be paying attention when the deadline draws near

Is it worth the risk of not achieving consensus for just better odds of a payout (80% rather than 50%)?

We can't change our vote

We can't change our vote

WTF??  The option to change our vote disappeared for me too.  I don't know how to get it back.

I'm locking this thread as the poll appears to have broken.  I reposted here:
