Let's Talk Bitcoin Network Pilot Votes

[sdp]

The transaction numbers are in.  I checked the number of transactions that went to the bitcoin podcasts that debuted on the Let's Talk Bitcoin (LTB) Podcast.  Some people sent values other than 0.1mBTC to some of the addresses.  Perhaps they felt that they wanted to contribute more.  So, I counted transaction fees rather than amounts.

If the maintainers of LTB new podcast network choose based on this metric, the winners are 3, 7 and 8.
Number 3 wasn't in my top three selected podcasts but it has by far the most transactions, almost double of the runner up.

Adam has stated that people can send larger votes and 1 mBTC would count as 10 votes, for instance.

So your counts are not right. I'm not sure what the easiest way to tally would be, aside from manually checking every address.

If what you say is true, then it is only a matter of checking the balance on www.blockchain.info for each of the voting addresses from the feed.  If some people voted after the deadline and you want to discard those votes, things are bit more complex.
