I hope we get a second round to choose between the 2 most voted options. It'd be sad to end up launching at 3am just because GMT voters got spread over 3 day times.

If there's a close tie between the last 2 options. Would it make sense to launch halfway between them?

that would be changing the rules of the vote halfway. Not fair.
It is also very possible that the average would be very inconvenient for people who voted for the nearest time slot. For instance 1h more or less can make the difference between being at home and being at work.

I agree. I say we release on exactly the moment that gets the most votes. It isn't convenient for me, but if we're going to make statements, we need to stick by them.

I agree as well. Currently the last option is the best. No average or other BS. Just launch Thursday at 3am GMT pls !

Quick question, when the launch does happen, will we need to do any config changes in order to mine? Apart from setting testnet=0 of course

If my post helped, I'll happily accept a few bitmills! 15rGg6A1JFZV3b7TTbtpAaiYGdUD1e1oAm

it did thanks.

Just setting testnet=0 and possibly another setting in the config that needs to be set which will be announced closer to the date should do.

It's not fair already. A weighted average between the 2 would be a good compromise, as it's going to be inconvienient for the everyone that didn't get the one they wanted regardless.

where is the change vote button (In hindsight I would rather launch my miners and deal with whatever bugs come up in what for me is early evening rather than at 4am...)

You can change your pick.

It doesn't seem so... or the "change your vote" button is damn well hidden Sad

Not as much as averaging over the 4 options (weighted by number of votes). The thing is, probably most of those who voted 9am or 3pm would have picked 9am if the only option were 3am vs 9pm.

No, in such cases you usually eliminate the last option, then you do the poll again and repeat until you have a winner

You can change your pick. So I've asked people who currently are picking one of the 2 losers to change their pick to which of the 2 winning options they prefer.

Wish more people from the US would weigh in on this so... I might have to get up extra early...

Wish more people from Europe would weigh in on this so... I might have to STAY UP UNTIL 4AM...

Don't want to depress you but 3.00 GMT is actually 4 in the morning at the moment :-|

...I forgot about that. Guess I'll be setting up a cronjob and hoping for the best.
