Has Mintpal answered why XSI votes were removed? I've slowly been moving my coins off Mintpal over the last few weeks. I will continue to move to Bittrex.
I personally contacted Mintpal today to alert them that we were moving up very rapidly all of a sudden. That was not the case until today, and we have over 250 pages of votes for our Mintpal promotion + all the votes from our community. They said they would run their program to identify an accurate vote total. Initially that gave us 7.000 votes. I check about 20 minutes later and there were suddenly only 5,000 votes. Not sure why it went down another 2,000 votes after the fact, nor do I think 5,000 or 7,000 votes is remotely accurate. We have paid over 25,000 XSI in votes for our Mintpal promotions, and I sent them the link to those promotions, and offered them our spreadsheet to verify the information. They were not interested in my explanation. I brought the issue to their attention, because I was trying to do the right thing. I expected they would at least engage in a conversation regarding the matter. A few short responses 10-15 minutes apart was all I received. Getting listed on their exchange was only 1 piece of a large puzzle. I have said that repeatedly. We have a solid coin, and great community. I will have details on a new promotion, and the new features we are working on shortly. Lets move on to bigger things

What makes xsi a good coin compared to the other 300+ coins? Its a serious question and yes, I own xsi. I want to see this coin grow just like the rest of us. And where is this "great community" of xsi? How do we get involved with this community? Or is it only this forum? How about a facebook group? Honest questions.

XSI is the only crypto I hold long-term besides the cryptonotes.
Let the weak hands dump, i'm using this opportunity to increase my position on XSI.

Lets move on to bigger things Mintpal is just 1 exchange do not give so much value to them, they are always like that. They always happy you guys bought votes from them, they prefer mostly those coins just check JPC they paid mintpal over 9 BTC for votes. Mintpal is really greedy exchange who prefer more money then coins value.

I love it. Direct questions. Here's how I see it. StabilityShares started out with a mildly cool hyperbolic reward curve (and a really cool name) and was doing pretty well till the Dev vanished. In comes cryptonewbie and bminer to save it from thee abyss. They came in with a community oriented plan to get XSI to its rightful place. They asked the community what they wanted and have worked tirelessly to make it happen. Since then we have had regulars that are positive and helpful. The community keeps growing and I haven't seen even one person in here say "I'm out". They may be gone for a little while but you will see old users pop back in and new positive members keep joining the group. That's the community we keep talking about. We don't have bbq's and parties together but this is thee tightest knit group of crypto enthusiasts I have ever seen. I also want to point out a couple more things. The length of this thread shows that there isn't a huge surge of hyped up junk that flows through the coin. Its a solid steady (Stable) coin. Every coin gets these pump and dumps. XSI has shown time and time again that its not going to die. I know its childish to relate it to this but its like that story the little engine that could. We are in a slump as far as price goes but if you have been paying attention you know its nothing but a ridiculously good time to stock up. XSI isn't going anywhere but up. As soon as CN and bminer release their next news you will never see these prices again. Onward.

If we have any community members that trade on Bter, make sure you vote for StabilityShares. They have good volume on their exchange, and pretty fair voting system. https://bter.com/votingWe have also been added to the voting list of a new exchange. https://askcoin.net/votes

No problem. It took me a bit to figure that out too :-) The darkcoin kernel is pretty standard for x11

I think it's time for the devs to reveal what they're working on. I feel like the community will slowly break apart now if no news comes now. How can the community help? Give us something

The community keeps growing and I haven't seen even one person in here say "I'm out". This coin is dead. I'm out. I said a community member not a random FUDman Good effort though.

Hey guys,
I just took a look at the promotion you were running. Unfortunately there are holes that can easily be exploited... and were. Sorry, but most of the votes were not valid. I will explain why this is the case because it appears mintpal is unable to do so.
You ran a contest paying people in XSI for votes. Some people who have a lot of time are able to easily exploit this. Here is a quote from Jason Mintpal for a different coin where the same thing happened.
"We disabled almost 60 accounts that has been created with the specific intention of voting. As a result, the votes were removed from the coin."
So basically mintpal does not want any account where the primary purpose is voting. They do not care if it is a human or a bot. When it comes down to it, only votes from accounts with a decent trade history will count.
The ones who exploited your campaign realized this and made a ton of accounts for the specific purpose of voting. Even though this may have been a real human doing the clicking, it doesn't matter.
In conclusion, I don't believe mintpal "is scamming you". The voting campaign was not a failure. The results are quite good. Votes from real mintpal accounts with a decent trade history counted. The accounts created for voting as the main purpose were disabled and not counted. If you actually use your mintpal account and it was disabled then you can have it activated again and the votes will count. The problem is the majority of those accounts are not real and won't be used for trading and will never be reactivated. Mintpal did not screw you, community members that exploited your campaign did. Even if your intentions were good, you cannot create accounts on mintpal just to vote which is what your marketing campaign allowed people to do. Scammers jump on these type of opportunities.
But think of where you were before the campaign. I'm sure since then you've gotten a lot of attention and have climbed the charts despite the big push back. Best thing you can do is keep voting real votes so people see their is strong support.. just like trading, when there are big dumps, there needs to big big support to keep it alive.

You made some great points. I personally contacted Mintpal on their IRC channel to alert them that suddenly votes were rising rapidly. My expectation was that I would at least be able to engage in a dialogue and provide our spreadsheet and links to our promotions. There were just a few quick replies that I was given. I know that over the last 30 days we added far more than 1800 votes. That would mean we only averaged 2.5 votes/hour between 256 pages of votes and community members voting. Nothing can be gained by pointing the finger. I explained my side of the situation, and ultimately its their exchange and they can operate it however they choose.

Give us something I understand your concern. bminer777 has been working hard coding for a new feature. He didn't want to set a strict timeline and not be able to deliver. I will speak with him and see what details he wants to reveal.
