The first official BitBay decentralized voting poll is live!
For any new forum members we are casting votes to determine whether or not we should fix a stake reward glitch now or later. To fix it will require a fork in the chain.
It appears the developer is the only one who wants to wait, yet I can't even find him voting currently!
Voting started at 7:00am UTC today.
If you wish to use your client to count votes, goto: Settings -> General Settings - > Mining/Staking Voting tab -> click on count votes and enter either: stakefork or nostakefork as your text string to count.
Then you can enter the starting block when the voting poll officially began = 1135273
And then enter the most current block as an ending vote.
The Client will then scan the blockchain and tally up the votes for each text string.
Remember votes are only cast on staked blocks so they are not easy to be cast. Yet this affects everyone on an even level. So the sooner you start and the more coins you have, the better the chance your voice will be heard!
The voting poll ends 4/4/17 7:00 am UTC
The last official vote block found before that deadline will will a 5000 coin prize!
You don't have to use the client to track the votes cast. You can also use the blockchain. All votes goto a burn address.
stakefork vote address is:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bay/block.dws?1135399.htmAgain, I currently can't find anyone casting votes for: nostakefork
If that is your desire you better get started ASAP.
Welcome to the future of blockchain technology where gridlock and political strife have no place!!!
This is an important event. Possibly in historic terms too.
I don't think we should fork the coin right now it just creates work. However I also do not think we should start this democracy with David casting votes with 100M coins. It will set a bad president for the democratic nature of the voting mechanism. You can guarantee at this stage less than 25% of coins will be put to use for voting so a 10% chunk voting at this point is a certain victory for whatever way david votes. It almost nulls the point of having a vote.
I would suggest for the sake of democracy no voting by the dev until bay is way more popular and 10% is not such a huge factor.
Rather we just listen to his reasons for a no fork vote more carefully.
From a selfish POV david could vote for a fork because with 100M bay he stands to accumulate more than anyone else. He must have a good reason for casting a non fork vote.
I'd rather push ahead with the project rather than doing another fork right now.
Hopefully the pegging will come forth and the next upgrade or update we fix the interest rate.
