I've posted this already to the Q2C thread but I want to keep you informed because you were also involved in this incidents in some way.
Okay guys, I'm here with another good news!
I've talked to MintPal-Jay (an admin of MintPal) about the incidents today. Thanks again for the friendly conversation.
The results were:
- He doesn't blame the whole Q2C community for the things happened. He thinks that the botter is somebody that has no special relation to Q2C, USD-e or KDC.
- The voting system has been / will be changed so that only registered users are allowed to vote. This will prevent botting.
- Q2C will be unbanned and gets most of its votes back. Of course, the botted votes will not be counted.
- The donated votes (about 0.08 BTC in total) will still count after the unban. There is NO loss.
.
My faith in MintPal is fully restored and I want to thank them for the very well handling of the incidents.
Today was a very exciting day, but we all should calm down now and support Q2C again when we are listed on MintPals voting list (in a fair way, ofc). Additionally we should apologize for some bad words that have fallen against MintPal and other coin communities (especially USD-e and KDC).
So, what should we have learned from today?
We should not fight each other. We are neither opponents, nor rivals. Fighting leads only to negative moods and bad words lead to negative reputation. We are cryptocurrency communities, all sitting in the same boat. The only way to master hard times like today is to work together and keep calm.
It looks like a happy end for all of us.
USDe and KDC will most likely be added to MintPal and I already want to congratulate you.
I'm very glad to see that the botter has not achieved to get another coins banned.
