The Email I got suggested that it was also possible to PM thomas_s and provide sufficient evidence of ownership that didn't include a "signed" message. Isn't that correct? Have you had a chance to look at your PM's yet?
they switched from blackarrow to antminers with out a vote they can do what ever they want. including pay us for this gear. or go poof.
our votes have no meaning.
this payoff is bigger 28 coins then all the coins paid for the current rounds hashing.
I doubt they wan to pay this off. it just gets worse.
The switch to antminers was a very good decision at least for R9-12 share holders, if not the boards that were in R9-12 have only gotten up to around 1-2th/s and that doesn't include downtime of them for being repaired.
However the power usage of ants is higher than the bitfury boards and requires more PSU's
The vote is public and responses are shared, the reason for sending a signed transaction is so anyone can check the legitimacy of the vote unfortunately not many have actually followed the directions to sign a message or at least to prove ownership publicly.
As for the vote it seems the only way to do it is in this thread my current count is a little over 100 votes to sell based on posts that were made.
