Welcome to another
CoinPayments vote… This time it will be a little bit different. We’ve had issues in the past with paid voting and rigging and what not. This distracts the purpose of the vote, so we have implemented a new off-forum voting system using
CoinPayments to vote. Each vote will require a donation of 0.001 BTC (or LTC/DOGE equivalent) 100% of the donations are going to be donated to
The Water Project. So even if the vote does go rogue, it will be for a good cause. To vote, you do not need to register, only need a wallet with funds. Depending on how many votes each coin receives will depend on how many coins we will add.
So here’s the down side… There are a few coins which we support, and have received 0 transactions since being added. So we will be replacing a few with the winners from this vote. (depending the outcome of the vote, will determine how many are replaced) Hopefully they will have more luck in use. This does not mean we are completely removing and disregarding the coins, we are keeping everything on the system, but just disabling to save resources until we expand the server to support all the coins. We don’t want to pick and choose coins, but if nobody is using them to pay merchants for products, we want to give another coin community a chance. If you have coins on our online wallet of a coin which we will be replacing, we will send you the balance to an address. (please check your account and email us to send out your funds)
Along with the new coins, we have instated a few guideline rules we will go by. When a new coin is added, it will be put on a so called “trial” and under watch for the first 2 or 3 months of it being on
CoinPayments… If it receives 0 transactions, we we will have to consider it on a list to be deactivated and let another coin have a chance in the next vote. Again we do not want to stress the idea that we are not picking and choosing any coins over each other, this is strictly a decision based on the facts from our system.
