the remaining funds should be distributed among donators as initialy planned

I totally agree with that!
I also totally agree!

No problem, but what if more funds will be needed in the future for the development?
Many coins have such funds, and 93.5k XEL isn't anything substantial, but it can grow to nice $$$ over years, so XEL will have an advantage over other coins.

Why can't we vote it?

You cant vote to breach a treaty. Even if there would be a 90/10 majority it would be wrong cause in its initial terms it was exactly stated that those funds will be deployed.

But that being said, no one hinders you/us to setup another development fund that is donated voluntarily.

The voting for changing the supply isn't breaching the treaty?

For sure nobody gets confiscated his funds in a forceful way.

Altering the total supply might be a change to the initial plan, thats right, but i doubt that even in front of a court a claim would have any chance of being heard. Its basically nothing else than a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_split which happens everyday in the world of finance and is nothing to complain about as you are not being confiscated anything. While in your scenario someone would be forced to give away value that he didnt want to give away. Thats something COMPLETELY different.

But like i said there is always a way to do this by free choice. Also the devs could take some of those BTC and buy XEL with them, just to be sure to profit from an eventual rise in XEL value.

I think if the devs found this necesarry they already would have proposed that. So no worries about that Wink

I am having problems voting, it says it can't find my BTC address in the database. I have found the original spend on the genesis block and on block explorer, but none work.

Any ideas please?

Guys, what about creating a reserve fund (or development fund)?
We could use the remainder of 1093510 XEL that are now left for distribution, so the fund would be 93510 XEL.
1M XEL would be distributed proportionally as planned.
The fund could be 2-of-3 multisig account with keys being held by dev, OP, and one of the top investors.
What do you think?

[Edit] The fund could be locked initially for some 2-3 years to avoid spending it instead of the donated BTC.
the remaining funds should be distributed among donators as initialy planned, alot of us donated also speculating on amout collected.. i am kind of suprised it got to 79%, not that i am complaning hehe

@Evil-Knievel after vote on supply ends can we create another poll with question about minimum fee?

The voting software allows multiple parallel votes. We have discussed a few potential fee models here a few weeks ago, maybe we should brainstorm about what alternatives we have and put them up for vote?

For me best solution is where forgers set the fee in config file. But anyway, we cant parallel vote on min fee with vote on supply because fee for 5M will be much different than fee on 1B. So we should wait until voting for supply ends and then start vote on min fee.

TIP: For those who want to vote, but only have their blockchain.info mnemonic pass phrase.

1. Go to blockchain.info security center and backup your mnemonic phrase
(Its 12 words, for example "claw income cover upset below across idle cup course uniform tilt wheel")

2. Go to https://dcpos.github.io/bip39/ and paste your mnemonic phrase

3. At the bottom you should see a list of your "derived addresses" along with their private key

4. Now I have created a foolproof bitcoin signing tool which you can find here: https://ordinarydude.github.io/offline-bitcoin-signer/

5. Use the private key and the messages to obtain your signature.

Disclaimer: Use at own risk, the sources for the offline signing tool can be found here: https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/offline-bitcoin-signer
The paranoids download the code and sign on an offline machine!

Evil-Knievel, you are a renaissance man!

...deleted, i think Lannister created the voting app...  Smiley
"You need a signing app, too? ok, gimme 5 minutes....  ***tap, tap tap-on-github***,  here you go!"

Thank you, Sir!  Your work is amazing and much appreciated!
