The problem with the Bitoin Client and signing is that it often doesn't just sign the message but also some formatting tags. If you copy the content of the signature box here, you end with:

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

Sign me

And I think the signer signs all of this. Would be worth to inspect this for Bitcoin Unlimited ...

What is the quorum for this voting round?
Is it 20 (25% of 80) for a super-majority vote? (not including article votes)

 

[Roy Badami]

After I voted the vote list for BUIP070 seems to have turned into a 404 - so I can't check if my vote was successfully registered.
[doublepost=1513024456][/doublepost]@solex And now the vote list for BUIP071 has gone AWOL after I voted on it.
[doublepost=1513024532][/doublepost]Oh, I see - I have to refresh the index page maybe because the URL of the results page changes? That's a bit confusing...

 

[Roy Badami]

Quorum seems to be 12 (25% of 48 members) - as evidenced by the fact that BUIP068 now has 12 votes on the voting system, and is shown as having reached quorum.

 

[torusJKL]

Yes, I counted correct this time and there are 46 members listed that can vote.

The first time I mistakenly used the member number and subtracted those who can't vote (80-2) but there are gaps in the numbering and thus we have less members.

 

[Roy Badami]

Oh, I hadn't noticed there were two expired members in the list - so yes, your'e right, it's 46 members.
[doublepost=1513032068][/doublepost]BTW, can anyone explain to me the difference between abstaining, spoiling ones vote, and not voting?

I believe abstaining or spoiling ones' vote would count as voting for membership purposes and count towards the quorum.

Not sure what the difference between abstaining and spoiling one's vote though. I guess spoiling one's vote is a way to protest the vote took place at all?

 

[torusJKL]

There are less than 10 hours left for the BU voting.
Every member who has not voted yet please do so.

 

[AdrianX]

@Windowly it's a way of coming to a conclusion if a vote is inappropriately framed, say the vote is framed in a political way where a yes or no answer yields an undesirable results, a majority spoiled vote could be counted to discredit the yes or no vote.

The spoiled vote acts a bit like a filibuster, I'd say it is interesting only if a vote is not accepted.

TL;DR It should count towards quorum in the "abstains" category that's how I would interpret it under Article 2: Confederation, IV. There is also an argument that it is shouldn't count as @Bagatell was suggesting, if it is not counted as an abstains it should be counted towards a voters participation record that is required for a member to keep his membership active.
[doublepost=1493143124,1493142378][/doublepost]if I was to express the idea of a spoiled vote as a function that would yield an outcome maybe it could be:

quorum_type1 = (accepts+rejects+abstains) >= 0.5*(Nmemb+spoil)

Thanks to everyone who provided BUIPs and to everyone who participated in the voting.
I'm looking forward seeing those great features and enhancements in future versions of BUCash.

Also a warm welcome to the new members!
