What now? They don't seem to be running a modified client. I guess they're still on Core...
What kind of system are they employing in order to ask the miners for their opinion? Different stratums like one pool did earlier? Maybe they're just polling their users...

They run Core, it's just a voting mechanism and apparently not even a good one.

They run Core, it's just a voting mechanism and apparently not even a good one. We can only judge on their voting system efficiency if we know how does it work. Didn't find answers neither on twitter, neither on their page. Is it something miners activate on their personal logins in the pool's page?

Giving individual hashers a voice is admirable, but doing so via false nVersion settings is dangerous; use the coinbase instead. https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/702726326428573696False nVersion settings risk accidentally triggering safety warnings, or worse, triggering forks; nVersion is consensus-critical. https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/702726905435389952

If it is the same way as miners include opinion on blocksizes in their mined blocks (often 8MB and so on), then these opinions are worth nothing when they dont follow their interests with real voting in block version numbers.

If they use twitter and they saying this in public, they do not have anything to hide, or was that just a slip up? I guess they have to use some sort of platform to discuss
the different implementations. If a bunch of people can have closed invite-only "Round table" sessions behind closed doors, they can have their own secret discussions and
votes too. If anyone wants to challenge them, they would need to accumulate the same hash power.... and that cost a lot of money.

You called it: We are currently under DDoS attack.
Not 'massive' though, already ended.

We are currently under DDoS counterattack.
Fixed it for you. Mess with the honey badger and you get the claws. Plus the teeth. Fork off.
