[ANN][BTCS][CRYPTOVOTER LAUNCH] Bitcoin-sCrypt | in techcrunch

This mine is eagerly awaited

This mine is eagerly awaited

And the hashrate has jumped around a lot too.

Questions:  Is once-a-month voting too frequent or not frequent enough?  Should Bitcoin-sCrypt coordinate with Bitcoin-core re voting?

I thought voting every two weeks was too often.  Once a month might be ok but we should not vote just to vote.  We should have things worth voting for.

Besides the first set of votes, voting every other week would be too much.

[Smokeasy]

Also, the voting block deadline will be announced within the next 24 hours, along with an infographic with instructions for first-time voters.

Hi all,

Have put some DOT votes on https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Home/Voting
I hope we get onto this exchange.

Cheers,

Mike

It looks like we're in a close tie for second.  Everyone keep voting!!!

I'm glad you think so and I hope the community agrees.

Where did that BolivarCoin come out from???

[Smokeasy]

The first CryptoVoter shareholder-style blockchain votes will happen in approximately 48-72 hours when we reach Bitcoin-sCrypt block 333,333 (the "voting deadline block").  As of this writing, the current Bitcoin-sCrypt block is 332,510 so the voting deadline block for the first vote is 823 blocks away and should happen sometime between Oct. 02 and Oct.04, 2015.
 
The first vote is whether or not to replace the current Bitcoin-sCrypt logo and replace it through a logo contest.  This vote was set up as an initial test vote, as it is widely expected that the community will vote to replace the old logo.
 
We also created an infographic to show how easy it is to vote in just three steps:
 (1) Download CryptoVoter-BTCS voting client v.1.10.1
 (2) Launch the voting client and cast your vote before Bitcoin-sCrypt voting block deadline 333,333
 (3) Wait until block 333,333 has been solved and added to the blockchain before moving your coins
     (*) Vote results can be found by using the voting client, the voting website or by searching with a Bitcoin-sCrypt blockchain explorer.
 
Remember, for votes to count users must send coins to their voting address before the voting deadline block 333,333 and keep them there until that block has been solved and added to the blockchain.
 
We will announce final voting results after voting deadline block 333,333 has been solved, and collect feedback to tweak the second Bitcoin-sCrypt blockchain vote scheduled for October 16, 2015, and repeat the process for the first Bitcoin-core blockchain vote scheduled for October 23, 2015.
 
Thanks and we are excited about holding the first official CryptoVoter shareholder-style blockchain vote to decentralize development by giving users a vote in development issues.
 
An explanatory infographic follows.

Thx,

Smokeasy

VanillaCoin is making a run at it too.  We need the community to keep on voting on Cryptopia.

Wonderful job with the graphic. I like it 

[bloods-n-cryptos]

I like the graphic too.  Good job of showing how to vote.  What block are we on now anyway?

[bloods-n-cryptos]

Found the answer.  We are on block number 332735 so the first vote is 598 blocks away.

[Smokeasy]

Thanks guys.  I am planning to use that as the template for future 48 voting deadline block notices. 

I hope it encourages more people to vote.

The ride was nice, you may hold the promise of good.

[Lemming47]

I have some DOT and will use them at the end of the week if it makes a difference to the outcome

we keep edging ahead but barely, need more BTCS community members to vote and add their support in the cryptopia chat

[Smokeasy]

Reminder that first BTCS blockchain vote is today. 

The voting block deadline is block 333333 and we are currently at block 333173 so about 160 blocks left to vote!
