Dear all, my voting address 1FdweEq46d3r67W6odR4YREUXJrZ8Vj7c was part of an out-dated system I was using and is no longer secure. I can dig up the private key and sign with it if people feel strongly with it. In the meantime I would like to use 1KS9pKKfYYvAC4cBh3JkNnrSXYb1EP2dza as my signing address. Here is my signed vote below:

@chriswilmer : I think right now at 20 votes cast and 50/50 split (no quorum), your vote would decide BUIP127 in favor.

Since that seems to be a controversial BUIP, I would recommend you DO sign with your old key, even if it is a little more trouble to dig it up.

 

[chriswilmer]

@solex @freetrader can I get permission to ADD a signature to my vote, as cast here on this forum without modification, using my old signature, but perhaps over the next 24 hours? I can try to do it today before the voting period closes but it takes some effort and I am at work...

Hopefully I can do it quickly when I get home and this will be a non-issue. Anybody who has had to dig for old private keys can probably understand what I need to do.

 

[freetrader]

@chriswilmer : as far as I'm concerned it's no longer urgent, @Griffith has cast his vote which makes yours not the deciding one anymore, unless some more people vote affirmatively.

p.s. you don't need my permission anyway, it was just a recommendation as the vote was on edge.

 

[solex]

The current voting session closes in about 1.5 hours from the time of this post.

@chriswilmer Your manual vote is accepted.

Unfortunatelly I mixed up the BUIPs 125 and 128.

My reject should have gone to 125 and not 128.
Not that it changes the outcome but I want to voice my support for @Norway.

Indeed, thanks for mentioning @torusJKL
As you say, fortunately not crucial to the final result this time.
