Thanks for the heads up. I had not heard of Stellar Lumens until this morning. Now I have a few thousand of them. I also like free money :)

Hence the suggestion to vote for "none of the above" if you're against voting, or for "no rulers" as per @lukestokes suggestion. Having said that, I do understand and respect your

Possible, for sure. But if votes are being altered, there's probably an equally valid chance votes are being conjured out of nothing... maybe even in the names of people who didn't show up to vote at all.

I am also seeing that it depends on the value of steem/sbd/sd. Votes that were worth considerably more two weeks ago have declined noticeably in light of steem value declining as of late.

Last I read, April of 2017.

I'm Mr. Memeseeks, look at me!

@lukestokes "Why do you make that distinction? 90% is 90%. We don't have to go into the philosophical details of why those 90% decided the way they did, the obvious fact of the numbers still communicates

"and only 10% percent of the population agrees with the validity of that person's "authority" to cage them, don't you think we'd see more people with guns saying, "Uh, nope. Nice try,

Thank you for the shout out! I actually prefer your "no rulers" write-in suggestion over my "none of the above" suggestion. The only thing I will add is this: "If, as an example,

"If only 10% of the people (as an example) actually voted for the "rulers" then why would the other 90% obey whatever the rulers decree?" Three answers... weapons, prisons, and belief

No rulers is a good phrasing.

Perhaps a vote for yourself, then // as the only viable option for who to rule you :) I understand not wanting to participate - it's just tough when you not participating doesn't mean the other players

Ha - that's great. Wasn't aware of that

Unfortunately, not voting because you don't support the system is indistinguishable from those who don't vote because they don't care (from the perspective of those in power) -- All the more reason to

All the more reason to write in "none of the above" - thus not supporting any of them, but actively showing refusal of all of them

Thank you for reading!

Hopefully the tool will be updated and I can recalculate. As it stands, it seems to be consistently overestimating the value of steem power. Thanks for reading / commenting!

An "entry level technician" stole 1.5 million documents from the CIA? Sounds reasonable. Wait, where is the sarcasm font button?

I wrote this based on calculations I made using the Steem Dollar tool; however, the tool seems to currently be calculating incorrectly from what I can tell. If it's fixed, the same calculation would work

I haven't used Circle, yet. Maybe now is the time to try. Have you used it? If so do you like it?
