An attempt to establish a similar system to Dash cryptocurrency in 2017

Specificaly, here is the Discussion.

It would be nice if a real member of Encointer community (among the current 86 persons) comments there.

From the relevant dashtalk.org thread.

I would like to thank all the 249 masternodes and crowdnodes that participated to the EncointerUBI numerical vote.

CURRENT RESULTS from Encointer Basic Income RESULTS OF THE VOTE.

Electorate = 4030 potential votes (Regular and Evo MNOs)
ValidVotes = 249
Voting participation = 6.17 %

VOTING RESULTS
mostVotedNumber = 0 (or 000 base3) was voted by 175 votes ( 70.28 % of the valid votes )
medianAverage = 0 (or 000 base3)
meanAverage = 4.95 . Multiply 4.95 to the chunk 9.3(=242/26) to discover the decided number.

The number of votes that are currently required for a proposal to pass is 361. WE NEED ANOTHER 361-249=112 VOTES in order for the Encointer numerical proposals to have the legitimate 10% participation that is required by the dash protocol. (will we ever vote the numbers about this 10% hardcoded number?). So whoever didnt vote yet in the EncointerUBI proposals, please do it.

When the participation reaches 361 votes, I will cast a new proposal in the budget asking the mnos and the crowd what is the preferred method they would like to be used, in order to extract a result from the encointerUBI numerical proposals.

THE_QUESTION: What method would you like to be used in order to extract a result from the encointerUBI numerical proposal?

  1. Would you like the “Mean average”, the most inclusive method where all votes are calculated? Then vote yes . This will result the encointerUBI proposal to receive 4.95X9,3=46 dash this month. The amount will be equaly distributed to the currently 77 proven individuals of the Zurich/Swiss dash-encointer community, to the currently 4 proven individuals of the Greenbay/USA dash-encointer community and also to whatever new dash-encointer community may emerge in the meantime.
  2. Would you like the “Median average”, a method introduced by Pietro Speroni? Then vote abstain . This will result the encointerUBI proposal to receive 0 dash this month.
  3. Are you a proponent of the tyranny of the majority (50%+1), a method introduced in the ancient Athenian Direct Democracy? Then vote no . This will result the encointerUBI proposal to receive 0 dash this month.
  4. Do not answer the question at all , in case you are a proponent of a time spliting rule, where all numbers are valid numbers in the appropriate time window. (For example in case 70% of the voters voted 0 and 30% of the voters voted 26, then we create a time window, lets say 10 years, and for the first 7 years the 0 number is applied, then for the next 3 years the 26 number is applied). Do not also answer the question at all, in case you are a proponent of an alternative method not mentioned above as an option. This will result the encointerUBI proposal to receive 0 dash this month.

I decided to slightly change the question that will be posted in the budget, provided of course that we reach 10% participation. So here you are:

THE_QUESTION (v2): What method would you like to be used in order to extract a result from the encointerUBI numerical proposal?

OPTION 1) Do not answer the question at all , in case you believe that the numbers should not be voted but should be decided by an authority/god.

  • This option will result the encointerUBI proposal to receive 0 dash this month.

OPTION 2) Are you a proponent of the tyranny of the majority (50%+1), a method introduced in the ancient Athenian Direct Democracy? Then vote NO. Also if you are a proponent of any other method based on a percentage more than 50%+1 (ex strong majority 55%, supermajority 65% , or whatever results 0 dash to be paid depending on the "mostVotedNumber " of the current results) vote NO.

  • This option will result the encointerUBI proposal to receive 0 dash this month.

OPTION 3) Would you like the Median average” , a method introduced by Pietro Speroni? Then vote ABSTAIN . Also, if you are a proponent of an alternative method not mentioned as an option in this vote, then vote ABSTAIN , and please describe it in the comments below.

  • This option will result the encointerUBI proposal to receive 0 dash this month.

OPTION 4) Would you like the Mean average” , the most inclusive method where all votes are calculated in the final outcome? Then vote YES . Also, if you are a proponent of a time spliting rule , where all numbers are valid numbers in the appropriate time window (ex. in case 70% of the voters voted 0 and 30% of the voters voted 26, we create a time window, lets say 10 years, and for the first 7 years the 0 number is applied, then for the next 3 years the 26 number is applied) then vote YES. (Note: I decided to incude both the mean average and the time splitting rule in the yes vote, because, based on the cirrent voting outcome, both will result some amount to be paid for the Encointer community. But as long as the time splitting rule is not coded yet, I request the amount by taking into account the mean average which I assume is the most popular among the two. )

  • This option will result the encointerUBI proposal to receive 4.59X9,3=42.6 dash this month. The amount will be equaly distributed to the currently 79 proven individuals of the Zurich/Swiss dash-encointer community, to the currently 4 proven individuals of the Greenbay/USA dash-encointer community and also to whatever new dash-encointer community may emerge in the meantime.

At the end of the budget cycle in Dash, here you are the new results for the encointerUBI proposal. The money to be given as monthly UBI increased (in case the mean average method is hopefully selected) and could be defined to 5.8X9.3~=54 dash. We increased the voting participation to 7,77% but we are still below the 10% participation threshold.

Being below 10% participation it remains risky to add a proposal and claim 54 dash to be given as monthly UBI to the Encointer Community.

Shall we try though? What do you think?

After the end of the October budget cycle in Dash, here you are the new results for the encointerUBI proposal. The money to be given as monthly UBI decreased and could be defined to 4.49X9.3~=41.7 dash (in case of course the mean average method is hopefully selected by the masternodes, which is under question). We increased the voting participation to 9,03% but we are still below the 10% participation threshold.

Being below 10% participation it remains risky to add a proposal and claim 41.7 dash to be given as monthly UBI to the Encointer Communities.

Shall we try though? What do you think?

After the end of the November Budget cycle in Dash, here you are the new results for the encointerUBI proposal.

  • The money to be given as monthly UBI increased and could be defined to 5.23X9.3~=48.6 dash (in case of course the mean average method is hopefully selected by the masternodes, which is under question).
  • The voting participation decreased to 8.04% , mainly because many regular masternodes have been sold and new type high collateral masternodes have been bought, causing the loss of some votes. So we are still below the 10% participation threshold.

After the end of the December Budget cycle of Dash, we are still below 10% participation. The voting participation in the Encointer vote for December is now 8.24 %.

I will stop informing every month about the participation percentage on the Dash vote , and I will post here in this thread only in case the desired 10% is achieved.

In the meantime, and until the Dash community reconsider, I am investigating other crypto communities that may would like to merge with Encointer communities and get benefit of the PoP protocol of Encointer.

Regarding the vote in Dash that is about to give a Dash dividend to every Encointer member (look at Encointer Basic Income Numerical Vote. ) , I noticed that it is hard to reach the 10% threshold. We are stuck for months to about 8% participation.

Do you think I should lower the voting range from 0 to 242 dash and reset the vote to something like 0 to 100 dash, in order to attract more voters and in hope that we will finally reach the desired 10% threshold?

Dash Encointer vote is CLOSE TO 10% PARTICIPATION!!!

Electorate = 3391 potential votes (Regular and Evo MNOs)
ValidVotes = 323
Voting participation = 9.52 %

We need 17 more votes to reach 10% !!!

If you hold a Dash masternode and have not voted yet, please vote here: Encointer Basic Income Numerical Vote.

In case we reach 10% participation we will ask the below question to the Dash masternodes, and hopefully some amount of Dash will be given as basic income to the all the Encointer members. The question will be this: Pre-Proposal: Would you like this proof of individuality to be implemented in Dash? | Page 6 | Dash Forum

ONLY THREE VOTES LEFT , AND WE WILL REACH 10% PARTICIPATION !!!

Electorate = 3381 votes
ValidVotes = 336
Voting participation = 9.93 %

—VOTING RESULTS —

-------Divisive Election Methods------​

  • Most Voted Number = 0 was voted by 224 votes ( 66.66 % of the valid votes )

-------Inclusive Election Methods------​

  • Median Average = 0
  • Mean Average = 3.91

PLEASE VOTE FOR ENCOINTER, for the final question to follow!!!

We reached 10% participation, so a proposal asking the final question has been posted in the Dash budged.

Proposal “ENCOINTER-SUPPLEMENTAL-MAR24” - DashCentral.org

FINAL RESULTS for the ENCOINTER-SUPPLEMENTAL-MAR24 proposal

0 (zero) dash has been given to Encointer for the month MARCH 2024.

Statistics
Electorate = 3403 potential votes (includes Regular and Evo Masternodes)
ValidVotes = 229
Voting participation = 6.73 % (it does not pass the 10% threshold)

–VOTING RESULTS–

-Voters who believe the inquestioned number should not be voted but should be decided by an authority/god (or just people not aware of this governance proposal) -

3174 (non) votes

-Voters who believe in the tyranny of the majority-

188 votes (or 82.1% of the valid votes)

-Voters who believe in the median average or in any alternative method not mentioned -

2 votes ( or 0.8% of the valid votes )

-Voters who believe in the mean average or in the time splitting rule -

39 votes ( or 17% of the valid votes )

Regarding the vote for Encointer that is about to give a Dash dividend to every Encointer/Dash member that can prove his/her personhood, I noticed that it is hard to reach the 10% threshold. We reached it temporarily during the month of war (March), but we fall again and now we are at 9.8% participation.

POLL: Do you think I should narrow the voting range from 0 to 242 Dash and reset the vote to something like 0 to 100 Dash, in order to attract more voters and in hope that we will finally reach the desired 10% participation threshold?

  1. If you think I should narrow the voting range (for example 0-100 Dash, 0-50 Dash , 0-1 Dash at min), cast a like :heart: in this post
  2. If you think the voting range should remain 0-242 Dash or should be wider (for example 0-1020 Dash, 0-2323 Dash , 0-8528 Dash at max ) do not cast something.
