One vote per user? This is ridiculous. It's basically "who has the biggest wallet" contest.
Have in mind that it's marginally better right now to buy CryptsyPoints and vote with those.
Exactly. I feel the same way about it. It's really irritating actually.
"Irritating" is a small word for that.
This "vote with your money" scheme has always been kind of fishy, but with, for example, Mintpal, there is still a chance of a strong community beating few rich bagholders because of renewable free votes. Also, it's sort of understandable with small exchanges, which might not generate enough revenue from transaction fees initially and need some additional backing to get things rolling.
Cryptsy, on the other hand, went with a blatant cash grab.
