"Voting Weight Rebalance" Result
The voting regarding the voting weight just finished today. The results was split in two different polls; one for investors and one for miners (and investors).
This vote was made to see what the network think about the recent voices raised for the voting balance between Magnitude and Balance. Currently the balance is 100:100; meaning that Balance and Magnitude is equal in the voting weight. @cm-steemcreated a post regarding this and explains what it all means.
The Poll for Miners only (based on Magnitude) ended with 88% wanting the weight to be 70:30.
The Poll for Investors and Miners (based on Balance) ended with 71% for 90:10 and only 16% for 70:30.
Gridcoin Thunderclap
@gridcoinman started a Thunderclap Project this week. A Thunderclap project is a way to spread the word about something, but doing so at a predefined time and everyone at the same time. Its a try to make a viral spread about Gridcoin.
At the current time there has been 119 signups with about 165.000 people in social reach. This is a great number and we hope that everyone that likes Gridcoin and BOINC will join the project.
The project ends at 24th September 12:00PM EDT and will post a message on your feed and it will look like this
