I am late to the party, but in the last weeks I increasingly matured the decision to start voting for this motion.

Count me in.

Lets get this ball re-rolling

This must be a joke

I’ll join in after I get done work. I’ll need to update the wallet first.

Afraid not @peerchemist .
There was a bug in the Nu client which meant that multiple votes for the same motion hash by the same custodian were being counted as multiple votes rather than just one. The incorrect vote count was being reported by the RPC call to the client and hence reported by Assistant and the Block Explorer.
This means that the vote to open source fell just short of the pass target. In order to have it pass unequivocally, so that the vote can stand up to Blockchain interrogation we need everyone who voted before to continue voting.
I feel quietly confident that the motion will pass quickly with this last push and the source can be opened within the existing 45 day window.
It’s a shame that this bug reared its head for this (already contentious) motion but, if anything, it highlights one of the benefits that open sourcing the code would have in allowing other eyes to identify these potential pitfalls before they become issues.

Please keep on voting for the motion. It is crucial from a marketing standpoint to confirm it very rapidly ( ideally within 24h) otherwise it will be a massive blow on the face of Nu’s brand

crypto_coiner 2015-02-18 00:06:53 UTC #257

That is at a really bad timing but not catastrophic. I ve reput the motion into my feeds.

crypto_coiner 2015-02-18 03:30:45 UTC #260

Please install the new mandatory upgrade: Nu client version 0.5.4 , that fixes the way motion votes are counted, before “revoting” for the motion.

Sentinelrv 2015-02-18 05:34:33 UTC #261

Ok, installed and voting again. Let’s pass this thing for realz this time.

Our daily trading volume is down to only $10,000 today. The loss of BTER and Exco.in is not just a loss in shareholder funds, it is a reduction in system-wide demand for NuBits. We need to open-source to gain access to bigger exchanges that will stimulate demand for NuBits.

Sentinelrv 2015-02-18 18:38:18 UTC #267

Does this need to be posted on Reddit? Maybe people there don’t know. We have an obligation to pass this now, or else it will be very embarrassing for Nu.

tomjoad 2015-02-18 18:45:10 UTC #268

I think it’s important that any communication that is perceived to be coming from the Nu team is impartial. There is a difference between CoinGame or I posting “I think Nu should be open-source, and here is why” and “All shareholders must vote for open-source immediately”. The integrity of our voting system relies on shareholders making decisions that are best for themselves.
